One of the most dramatic attempts by an Eastern European nation to defy Soviet control during the Cold War period took place in Hungary in 1956.
On August 16, 1958, two Hungarian immigrants break into the Hungarian embassy in Bern and take the ambassador hostage. As the Swiss police besiege the building and a group of Hungarian immigrants shows up on the street to demonstrate, a tense, twist-filled hostage drama plays out behind the closed doors of the embassy.
Based on a true story about the aftermath of the 1956 Hungarian revolution, the film is a fictional account of the 1958 attack against the Hungarian embassy in Bern.
