A new mayor has been elected in a country town. Gabor Vencze, the ex-world champion of military flying, a vagabond ex-pilot lands in the middle of intrigues and political dealings when he becomes the mayor of  his hometown. He has his work cut out for him.

He has to fight the town’s corrupt business elite-maffia, foreign investors and their local representatives who let no one stand in their way, and last but not least the political interests. As one of the good guys warn him: „This is like an exotic zoo: snakes, hyenas, crocodiles and vultures looking for prey and if you are not careful enough, you could be their next meal.”

            In this political thriller Karoly Makk shows the problems and tensions in today’s Hungarian society, the deep rooted corruption and the fight against it complicated by ruthless wannabees.

Added to all this intricacy is a strange, unusual love story. A mystery woman from the Ukraine, Sandra shows up in Gabor’s life: She is looking for a true partner, an old fashioned relationship: marriage and kids. However, the drama of her dark past makes this difficult and creates doubts in Gabor not only about Sandra, but himself. Karoly Makk’s master touch prevails in showing the finely woven fabric of love and emotion in human relationships. The film does not lose rhythm, the twists of the story are exciting, the end is surprising, the outcome is brilliant.

            Hungary’s best are in this spectacular cast: the vagabond ex-pilot-mayor is Gyorgy Cserhalmi, the excitingly sexy mystery woman is Eszter Nagy-Kalozy and the talented not-so- newcomer is Zsolt Trill. Even the smaller roles are played by the best: Mari Torocsik, Sandor Csanyi, Gyozo Szabo, Ivan Fenyo, Aniko Fur, Agi Szirtes, Levente Torkoly and Oszkar Gati.

            The original, very special gipsy-jazz music score has been created by virtuoso pianist Bela Szakcsi-Lakatos who plays the music himself.
