An unexpected and surprisingly successful uprising broke out at the end of the summer of 1921 in Western Hungary due to the Trianon decision. They achieved what was not achieved elsewhere, the referendum. Thus, Sopron, the most loyal city, and many surrounding settlements have remained part of our country to this day. The fate of the participants, as so many times in history, was persecution and death, their names were smeared, and efforts were made to erase them from memory.
In the sixty-minute film, we recall the most dramatic moments in fictional scenes with actors Norbert Bródy and Bálint Ferencz in the main roles, local and national authorities and descendants also speak.
