The Hungarian economy has been stagnant for years. In the film, we explore how we got here after the country's catch-up seemed like a success story in the second half of the 2010s. A large part of society benefited from the processes at that time, and the improving standard of living also laid the foundation for the support of the Fidesz government.

The reality is completely different, and the reasons that have now slowed growth to near zero have been working in the background throughout the years that seemed successful on the surface. We show why the promised flight of aircraft is missed year after year.
