And the Puszta Gleams
Synopsis
Set on the Hungarian plains and in romantic Budapest, the film follows Rose Barsony’s spirited dancer-singer and Wolf Albach-Retty’s young noble as they navigate love, song and national pride. When the aristocratic family’s fortunes are threatened by the heir’s prodigality, veteran estate manager Károly Sugár steps in to safeguard the daughter’s inheritance. Against a backdrop of blooded horses, vineyard laborers and patriotic pageantry, the couple’s romance unfolds through musical numbers and colorful travelogue sequences that celebrate Hungary’s landscape and culture.
