One of the darkest chapters of the communist dictatorship of the 1950s was the Hortobágy labour camps, where thousands of people were deported without any trial, mostly families living on the western and southern borders. The complex of institutions, which was established in the farmland of the lowlands in strict secrecy, existed until 1953, but even after that it was not openly discussed. The film is based on real documents and recollections, which make the story real and true to life, told from the point of view of the thirteen-year-old son of a displaced family. Andris's family is summoned one morning by the ÁVH. An evacuation order has been issued and the whole family must leave their home. They are given an hour to pack their 50 kg of personal belongings, and the wagons are already on their way to the unknown, to Hortobágy, where they will be sent to a large camp.

Béla, the bad guy, is released from prison and decides to get back on the right track. But the first person he encounters is his old friend, Feri Buczella, whose brother has just arrived home from America with a suitcase of dollars.

Thiery describes it as a historical family novel, tracing postwar Hungary, from the Stalinist 1950s and the 1956 uprising’s aftermath to the upheavals of 1968, while celebrating freedom, truth, hope, boundless faith and innocent responsibility.
