Plot
The seven leaders of the Hungarians wake up after a very hard party in Etelköz. Then they realise that their beloved Hungarians are gone without them to conquest... In this exciting movie the leaders have to find the new home, and their people as well. During their migration they live through the history of Hungary, both the comic and tragicomic episodes, but instead of forests and castles, they occupy inns and hotels, and they are fighting with harem girls instead of Mongols or Tatars. And the big battle is not with weapons and guns, but on a soccer field, with a football and two teams...
