Gyula Csics was 12 years old in October 1956 when he decided to write a diary. The streets of Budapest were rocking and very quickly exploded into a widespread popular riot led by students and workers. Protests and strikes flared everywhere and Stalin statue was brought down. The Soviet tanks soon rolled in. The boy's eyes encompassed the whole astounding scene, and he described it meticulously for one year and a half through stories and drawings. His illustrations serve as a basis for the animations in the film, which along with the imaginative use of rich footage material, convey the atmosphere of the ill-fated Hungarian revolution. Csics is interviewed and tells about the climate of fear that prevailed at the time, which led him to fear for his life for keeping a diary.
