Sit back, put your worries aside, and enter a semi-mythical and romantic world of heroic knights. When adapting János Arany's Toldi Trilogy, the film's creator, József Gémes initially conceived of a film with no narration that communicated solely through images and music. The end result was not too far from this initial concept. The film did receive a brief narration for commercial reasons, though this spectacular work, each frame of which is inspired by the Romantic paintings of the 19th century, is still today a unique accomplishment in the animation genre.

In Hungarian, without subtitles

The discussions before and after the screening will be conducted in Hungarian.
