“Gee, Haw” – the stockmen of the plains drive the four-ox wagon using these two words. This movie seeks to show the viewer the day-to-day life of stockmen, wranglers – the people of Hortobágy. Our protagonists were taken in as children by the plains, which – they say – once captivates you, keeps you forever. Through the intimate, honest interviews we get a glimpse of the part of their lives which usually remains hidden – as if peeping through the keyhole.

1989 is an important year in the political history of Hungary. However, Petya and his friends couldn't care less. They are about to graduate high school. The only important things to them are the parties, girls, making some easy cash. And of course, passing the upcoming exam with the leaked questions.

This film describes the narrator's childhood, the years before and after the Hungarian Soviet Republic, in a burlesque and fabulous style and with the humour of a child's fantasy.
