An animated historical documentary about the daring acts of a true hero, Catholic seminarian Tibor Baranski, and the atrocities caused by a bloodthirsty antihero, the Nazi monk, Father Kun. Their intertwining stories play out in the shadow of the 1944 siege of Budapest – the seminarian who saved lives and the monk who was a war criminal. Their stories offer many lessons for a modern local and global context heavily burdened with real problems and prejudices.

The films will be followed by a discussion in Hungarian about the experimental-creative language of the film and the events of 1944.
