András Földes, a conflict zone reporter and a long-time colleague at Index.hu, becomes a firsthand witness to an unprecedented event when 80 journalists stage a historic walkout, protesting an autocratic government's takeover. Armed with his camera, he captures every moment and emotion. Led by the determined editor-in-chief, Vera, they embark on a journey of creating Telex.hu, a new online newspaper, from scratch. Their path is strewn with challenges as they navigate a hostile environment. The story takes an unexpected turn and a happy ending is blurred by existential questions.
