A gay affair between an aging middle-aged writer, and a young streetwise hustler.

November 1664. The autumnal peace of the Kursanec forest is suddenly shattered by the noise of a hunting party. The leader of the hunters is Miklós Zrínyi, one of the most powerful men in the country. Neither he nor the members of the merry party can imagine how the day will end. The film presents a tragic event in Hungarian history, which is still not fully understood and which will later affect the fate of the whole country. Hunting accident or assassination? There are many theories and explanations, rumours and anecdotes about the events of this autumn day. Is it plausible that the life of a renowned general, an excellent hunter and a respected poet should come to such a fatal end? Who was he whose terrible fate was facilitated even by such potentates as Louis XIV, the Sun King?

Csendkút is a historical film drama made for the fiftieth anniversary of the 1956 revolution and freedom struggle and dedicated to the poet Attila Gérecz, the 1956 revolution and freedom struggle commemorating his martyrdom.

Tarics lives almost as a hermit in his own forest, with only his landlady by his side. A mining engineer and his beautiful wife arrive there. The engineer wants to buy the forest for his clients, but Tarics is adamant, even though the mine in the forest would bring great benefits. Rachel, the engineer's wife, can't stand the forest man's stubbornness and decides to reach out and make Tarics fall in love, so that she can humiliate him and blackmail him in order to sell the forest. Florea watches in despair as his master falls more and more into the net of the beautiful woman. However, the tense, exciting game turns into a tragedy... as the woman really falls in love with her victim - and vice versa.
