Description of the content There are moments in everyone's life that reshape and determine our perception about the world. During his childhood and adolescent Serfőző Simon lived in a homestead in the Great Hungarian Plains. In addition to this it was the Revolution of 1956 that influenced his works, his poems and his novels. In our documentary we show the viewer the ruins of Serfőző's house and we also make interviews with the villagers, who were differently influenced by the consequences of 1956. The whole stroy is structured along these parallel lines that by the end formulate Serfőző's "his-story".
