Four Children in the Flood

December 1956. The region by the Tisza is evacuated because of a threatening flooding. Laci, Karcsi and Péter leave their home on the lorry owned by Laci's father to find Kati, the forester's daughter. The girl takes her favourite fawn along. The water forces the children to leave the lorry. They find shelter on the hill-side. In the meantime, the parents notice the absence of their children, and notify the police. After lengthy disputes, the children build a raft and escape at night. The shabby construction breaks to pieces in the water, but the children manage to climb onto the ruins of a bridge. The water-police out to find them manage to find the little company by the morning. (official distributor synopsis)
