László Kozma is the managing director of an American-Hungarian factory in Hungary, in 1949. His logical outlook on life is shattered as — based on absurd charges - he is innocently sentenced to 15 years in prison. As Kozma tries to comprehend the incomprehensible, it dawns on him that his inner journey is just starting. Where did he go wrong? We get to know Kozma, the genius engineer, who could have been world famous, had he not made all the wrong decisions. Memorable and graphic stories of his life come to life until, with the help of these, Kozma himself also works out the perfect plan of escape. After becoming free, he does not want to invent anything anymore.
