"Szabadsag!" (Oh freedom, freedom, how many times over the ages has that word rung out?)
It is the 1950s. The Russians and their secret police, the Avo, have a choking grip on Hungary and the lives of its citizens. Attila Szabo is one of them, just a teenager, but he's been forced to grow up quickly, with his father having spent most of the last two years locked away in prison. They live in a state-owned tenement: Attila, his parents and the older brother he once adored.
In the top-floor flat, a new couple has just moved in, reassigned there by the government. They're clearly from a different class, so why have they been sent here and, more importantly, can they be trusted? But it's the wife who is of the most interest to Attila: she's the most beautiful woman he's ever seen, and his coming fight for his country's freedom is also to become one of passion.
