Contents/Summary

Summary
The film looks at the events that reshaped the “relationship” between the Romanian security forces and the Hungarians living in Transylvania. The fact that from the 50’s onwards the Transylvanian Hungarians became a potential threat in the eyes of the Romanian secret services can be traced back to an attempted revolution supported both by Romanians and Hungarians in the country. Aladár Szoboszlay, a parson from Arad, founded a Christian labor party, promoted an Austro-Hungarian-Romanian state alliance, and set the exact date of a Romanian revolution for August 28, 1956. This film is a tribute to his revolution that never happened.
