An experimental film folktale about a young girl who gets pregnant unexpectedly as the result of mysterious circumstances. Based on Hungarian folkstories and songs and the poetry of Sándor Petöfi, this film offers a contemporary tale of changing traditions and female roles as told entirely through the point-of-view of the girl. Shot in a style reminiscent of 1920s surrealist filmmaking, the story describes the mythical meeting between a modern young woman, Erzsebet, and a lost medieval prince seeking the mother for his child; destined to become the next leader of the Magyars. Using black and white, colour and tinted footage, the film explores the space where reality and myth intersect. An existing problem. A hypothetical situation. It's her affair, after all.
