I don't understand why this film is so underrated. It's not a Hollywood movie, of course, so don't expect something similar to American family/adventure films. But it has the specific Hungarian flavor, it has many funny moments and the cast is fabulous, better than I've expected. The child actors play very well and make you forget that this is just a film, gripping you along with the story.
The adventure begins when a family - 3 children and their parents - arrive in a village off the map to spend their summer vacation, as usually at the grandparents, who by the way are former performers (clowns) of the famous traveling circus "Bombardi". But it might happen that this is their last summer vacation in Modolány, as the grandparents' house and property is soon to become confiscated by the village's richest man, who has evil plans with that property. So the children have to figure out something to hinder his plans.
