Cruel dragons have subjugated the world. A mythical horse takes them on, frees the three princesses and restores order to the world. Inspired by Hungarian legends, Marcell Jankovics sets off a veritable firework of colours, shapes and sounds in his psychedelic fairy tale, creating a feast of animation art that is unique to this day and still makes young and old eyes and ears pop. Once in a lifetime, you should experience this psychotronic animated classic, restored in 4K, on the big screen! "An absolutely unique experience that expands the imagination. An eye-opener for some and an LSD trip for the rest." (The Spread)
