The stud farm of Sárvár

The stud-farmer of Sárvár

The documentary is a unique testimony to a dramatic era. It aims to shed light on a white spot of the 20th century: how Hungary sheltered the Bavarian royal family from fascism and enriched the almost 1,000 years of Bavarian-Hungarian historical relations. The Wittelsbach dynasty, which had dominated the political and cultural life of Bavaria for 800 years, confronted Hitler during the years of National Socialism. Part of the family fled to Italy and part to Hungary. The documentary shows the life of the members of the royal family in Hungary and their close ties to Hungarian culture.
