Documentary with animated sequences about that massive Hungarian exodus to the US which went on from the end of 19th century till the outbreak of WW1. The history of the nameless crowds presented in the film submerged under the surface of official history.
The inspiration for the film was a four-line poem written by the late János Pilinszky (1921-1981), an outstanding figure of contemporary Hungarian poetry. Focusing on artistic portrayals of the Holy Virgin, photographic and animation media are combined to capture an atmosphere and convey a lyrical sentiment by means of the continually changing spectacle.
