Storyline
This epic story takes place between 1820 and 1860 during the Habsburg Monarchy, and portrays the life one of the greatest Hungarian aristocrats - Count Széchenyi - who was born with extra-ordinary mental and spiritual talents. In the years following the fall of Napoleon the young count Széchenyi irresponsibly seduces his brother's wife, and the consequent scandal ruins his career as an army officer. After the sudden death of his humiliated lover Count Széchenyi drastically changes his character from that of a shallow young man into a responsible nobleman seeking to conquer his fate by creating great achievements in his remaining life. A great friendship and a special new love help the count to overcome all other obstacles. Széchenyi becomes one of the most famous politicians of his time. He is chosen as the leader of the opposition, and as such he becomes the enemy of the Habsburgs.

Hidember is the most expensive Hungarian film ever made, and this can be seen on the quality of the movie. The subjest of the movie is the life of Istvan Szechenyi, who established the Hungarian Academy of Science, made the first bridge on the DUNA river in Budapest and contributed additionally big sums to the development of Hungary in the XIX. century. At the end of hid life he was murdered by agents of the Habsburg family, as at this time Hungary was part of the Habsburg empire. At the time of filming the production was strongly supported by the Hungarian government, therefore crictics came in big waves from the opposition. (The celebrations for the 1100 (!) years of the existence of the Hungraian State took place in 1996, and had nothing to do with this film.)
