In the tragic autumn of 1944, the possibility of liberation from the war and the chains of the German alliance flashes before our eyes. Lacking leadership, in the first few hours people cannot yet know that their hopes are dashed, and they prepare the country not for celebration, but for burial. Some of the soldiers defect to the advancing Soviet forces, while others reload their weapons. A small group chooses a third path: they flee the front and try to fight their way home through adventurous journeys and encounters.

The Hungarian version of the "The Seven Samurai" and "The Magnificent Seven". A ruthless bandit gang terrorizes the residents of a crumbling Budapest tenement until a group of unemployed steelworkers, rather than samurai or gunmen, steps in to defend them. Amid fierce battles, intrigue and blossoming friendships and romances, a wandering circus knife‐thrower ensures that, unlike the originals, none of the heroes need be buried at the end.

The films hero is a metal worker named Ignat who is as strong and tough as the steel that his sprawling factory produces in the Ural Mountains. Its a great cheerless environment; life is arduous and dangerous; conditions at the plant are nearly subhuman. The only excitement in the grimy industrial town is provided by robbing a train at gunpoint or stealing sheep from the Bashkiri tribe. The most renowned diversion, however, is the annual fist fight between the strongest metal worker and the strongest miner from the region. Against his better judgment, but with the support of his co-workers, Ignat decides to take part in this perilous venture.

From the position of a European and a humanist, Istvan is stunned by the Holodomor and the brutality of the OGPU fighters. A Hungarian communist rebels and finds like-minded locals in Kubabas village. Together they are trying to fight the red tyranny.
