Contents Summary
We travel 'a la recherché du temps perdue' with Baroness Jeszenszky, and her forgotten Hungarian aristocratic film diary, from her Buda villa to their Castle in Tolna County. The reanimated images of the past enchant us; the estate, the park, the harvest, the servants, the travels, the dogs the neighbors visits, the peasants, the hunting, the marriage. We witness a rarely seen, vanished universe of aristocracy that gradually disappeared with the War and seized to exist with Communism.
