Synopsis:

A nation whose dreams of freedom have been crushed meet their rivals on a different field of battle in this drama inspired by a true story. In 1956, Karcsi Szabo (Ivan Fenyo) was a star athlete at the University of Budapest and had been named captain of the national water polo team than would represent Hungary in the Olympics held that summer in Australia. However, many of Szabo's countrymen had more on their minds; Hungary had fallen under the oppressive rule of the Soviet Union, and a growing number of Hungarians were demanding independence.

The Soviet suppression of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution in parallel to the water polo competition at the Melbourne Youth Olympics, which saw a heroic semi-final between Hungary and the USSR.
