Csendkút is a historical film drama made for the fiftieth anniversary of the 1956 revolution and freedom struggle and dedicated to the poet Attila Gérecz, the 1956 revolution and freedom struggle commemorating his martyrdom.

The story of an encounter that was legendary at the dawn of the Reformation. Calvin's weeks-long dispute with an "unknown Roman Catholic priest" turned the fate of Switzerland in history. The unknown priest was Ignatius of Loyola, later founder of the Jesuit order within the Church, and who was indeed on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in the area. Both wanted to reform the religion of the time. Calvin from without, creating a new church, and Ignatius of Loyola from within. Both agreed that the Church of Rome at the time was utterly depraved, with popes and bishops unashamedly enriching themselves and lusting, selling penitential cults, never having relics of saints, and all of these things had reduced the Roman Church to an unprecedented low. The two protagonists rise up against this, each with his own means.

Based on Sándor Márai's novel, the films tells the story of two young cadets, closest friends once - two old men full of suspicion, bitterness and with a guilty conscience now, forty years later. They have not met since they were young - one of them was serving in the army in the tropics, the other was just sitting in the library watching the shutters in his castle after the army days. But now they meet again, it is time to showdown.

The film commemorates Ignác Török, martyr of Arad. The story of the night before his execution is based on real events and features real characters, but the visit of Ignác Török's former lover and daughter to the prison in Arad is a figment of the author's imagination.

István Sinka, known in the farm world of the Great Plains only as Black Burdock, is a decent, honest fellow. He stands out among his peers with his education and literacy. He and his love, Piroska, are happily planning their lives when an unexpected tragedy occurs.

Tarics lives almost as a hermit in his own forest, with only his landlady by his side. A mining engineer and his beautiful wife arrive there. The engineer wants to buy the forest for his clients, but Tarics is adamant, even though the mine in the forest would bring great benefits. Rachel, the engineer's wife, can't stand the forest man's stubbornness and decides to reach out and make Tarics fall in love, so that she can humiliate him and blackmail him in order to sell the forest. Florea watches in despair as his master falls more and more into the net of the beautiful woman. However, the tense, exciting game turns into a tragedy... as the woman really falls in love with her victim - and vice versa.
