Synopsis

Drama. In a small, bleak, Hungarian village, the people sense there is a change in the air. A mysterious young man leads some of the men in the local bar in a drunken dance. At the same time, a mysterious circus has arrived in town, and villagers have flocked to see the main attraction, known as 'The Prince'. When it is announced that the Prince cannot after all appear, the mob storm the local hospital. Suddenly the people are stopped in their tracks by a mysterious vision, and begin to disperse, with any stragglers being attacked by the military.
