Erno Blaskovich lost everything after the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. Kincsem, a magnificent horse gives a purpose of his meaningless, self-destructing life. He gets a chance to gain everything back: revenge, love and fame.

Hungarian aristocrat and supreme horse trainer Sandor Blaskovich is killed by his former friend, Austrian officer Otto von Oettingen, while arresting him for treason. Von Oettingen takes over the Blaskovich castle with his young daughter Klara, while Sandor’s orphaned son Ernő has to move to a poor labourer’s cottage. Erno cannot forgive Oettingen for taking his father’s life, land and honour. Years later, he goes on to purchase and train a magnificent horse Kincsem, which he believes will be his winning ticket to regaining the family home. The horse grows into an unbeatable champion but is wild and unruly just as is the woman who also shows a keen interest in Kincsem: Klara von Oettingen.

“Well-recreated horse races, and lots of other ingredients: political assassination, revenge, hatred that turns to mad love and lots of twists and turns to spice up the plot. All elegantly staged and well photographed.” – DVDFr.com

“A garish fancy-dress party of colorful costumes and operatic set-pieces… These are guilty pleasures, of course, but all the best pleasures are.” – Hollywood Reporter

“The film is spectacular, the horse races are good, the costumes are ingenious.” – Index.hu
