Description

A raucous spring carnival sweeps the Hungarian plains, and four young men from Szatmármegye sign up for a wild, nonstop contest. Their mission: blaze a trail of dances, toasts and sled‑ridden journeys from one county to the next, never pausing more than a day in any village. The rules demand endless drinking, constant dancing, and a fierce refusal to finish ahead of a rival, while the landscape tosses them through snow, thawing streams and rattling sleds.

Two of the contestants survive the first frantic stretch, becoming the talk of the countryside. They barrel from town to town, dragging a lone Romani band with them, sparking rumors, flirtations and brawls wherever they roll. Their larger‑than‑life presence turns every inn into a stage, and the locals watch with a mixture of awe and anticipation, wondering which of the two will claim the next village’s heart. The story captures the chaotic joy of a traveling carnival and the colorful characters that live for a single, fever‑driven week of celebration.
