Fable about woodland creatures holding a competitive sporting event. However, when the wolf and fox kidnap the napping pig, everyone bands together to boil the kidnappers alive.

The film presents the wildlife of the Gemenc flood area sanctuary, arranging the episodes of each selected species into little etudes: how the fox steals the chicken from the pen, how the roused deer flees jumping across a huge abyss, how the sturgeon sticks to the bottom of the water, how the adoption of an orphaned fawn takes place. Wildlife is wound into striking novellas by shedding light on the inner life of the forest’s inhabitants.

The movie is based on a novel by I. Astalos. It tells about the hard life of poor people in bourgeois Hungary.
