English synopsis: Heroes live among us, only they are incredibly hard to recognize. Before we know it, they pass us by. This is the thought that comes into István Fekete’s mind when he decides to write about the life of his friend, legendary Africa hunter, natural historian, explorer and author Kálmán Kittenberger. But to do so, he has to convince the long-retired Kitterberger to tell him his adventurous life story that was not without hardship – on a last hunt.
 
English biography: He finished his studies at the University of Theatre and Film Arts in 2006. He has worked as an Assistant Director and an Editor both in Hungarian and international productions. He produced the documentary titled “Strong” (2011), which follows the heroic struggle of alpinist Zsolt Erőss from his leg amputation to his return to the mountains. In his film “Roads fifty-six” (2020), through personal stories, he shows viewers the fates of 1956 refugees beyond the Iron Curtain.
