A mystical rock opera The opera by composer Levente Szörényi and librettist Zsolt Pozsgai (based on the play by Tibor Fonyódi) recalls one of the most controversial, interesting and yet least known periods in Hungarian history. We are in the aftermath of Stephen's death, when, with Peter Orseolo on the throne, more and more people are demanding the return of the representatives of 'Árpád's people'.

The film weaves together three stories from Hortobágy. It takes a sacred approach to the honesty, fallibility, stubbornness and deep emotions of the ancient people of Hortobágy. The director was inspired by Zsigmond Móricz's short story "Komor Ló" and the writer's realistic yet mystical vision to film two other stories told by the people of the Hortobágy, set in 1945 and after the communist coup.
