Aspiring director Kishorváth seeks approval for his debut film, based on his grandfather’s odd ’60s protest: he and friends formed a “Danube Indians” tribe, donned moccasins and withdrew from society under strict moral codes.

When a censor on the approval board, whose own family was involved, challenges the tale, Kishorváth digs deeper into his grandfather’s true story.
