The film tells the true story of the Lenkey-Hussar battalion. It depicts naturally the obsessed and ill-weighed assertion of home sickness and patriotism thus revoking the memory of 1848. Obeying the pressure of the Empire the Hussar regiment of Paál Farkas and his companions has to be stationed in a small Polish town. Upon receiving the news on the revolution and freedom fight in Hungary, the Hussar Korsós attempts to desert. On the order of General Krüger he is publicly flogged by his companions. The event leads to a rebellion on the Polish side which the Hungarians feel solidarity with. When the Austrian leadership sends them to Prague as a punishment, they make a vow to get back home. Only a few of them escape the heroic struggle with nature, overwhelming force of the enemy and starvation, just to face the Emperor's martial law. (official distributor synopsis)
