If you like a movie inspired on a true story this is the one to see. On 30th August 1940 Hitler obliged on the Second Vienna Award that Romania will give 43.942 square kilometers of its territory to Hungary. This accord will change forever the lives of many local communities. THIS IS THEIR STORY. A love story between Sandor, a hot headed, but kind Jewish-Romanian farmer, and Rozalia, a spirited young Romanian, the daughter of the actual head of community. When the city falls under the control of ultra-nationalistic Hungarian mayor, Sandor and Rozalia decide to run away and trying to escape by getting to Romanian territory. Pista, a Hungarian policeman who has been courting Rozalia aggressively but with no success is hunting them down on their attempt to their freedom. On their run we witness trough their yes the violence and the massacres taking place around them in Transylvania. Sandor fights with all his determination to save the woman he loves.
