Yesterday () is a 1959 Hungarian drama film directed by Márton Keleti. It was entered into the 1st Moscow International Film Festival.
Plot Set during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, the film follows a military platoon ordered to suppress a public demonstration in a provincial town. Under the command of Lieutenant Csendes, the soldiers confront a crowd of protesters and prepare to open fire. However, one of the soldiers, Szusza Kis, joins the demonstrators, while Csendes hesitates after recognizing a childhood friend among the civilians. Unable to carry out the order, he refuses to shoot, and the platoon ultimately withdraws without using force.
