Synopsis:
Filmed in the Hungarian-Russian co-production, the film was originally commissioned to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the October Revolution in Russia when the Bolsheviks won power. Miklós Jancsó sets the story of the film two years later, in 1919, and shows the conflict of Red Bolsheviks and the Whites who supported the Emperor. Hungarian nationalists supported the Bolsheviks, but on the hills overlooking the River Volga where there's constant battle, it seems as though neither side has an advantage, and the war seems equally futile and crucial.
