In 1963 in Communist controlled Hungary, Miki, a young musician, returns after living in America and tries to win back his old flame Vera who has taken up with a musician rival of his named Röné who is also a part-time thief on the side.

Miklós Fenyö's parents returned to Communist Hungary in the mid sixties - when everyone else was fleeing to the West. For young Miki, arriving from America sporting a Hawaiian shirt, a perfect quiff and a rebellious streak, life under dictatorship was going to be tough. Miki's old friends don't know what to make of his outrageous clothes, flawless American accent and collection of original Buddy Holly 45s. His childhood sweetheart is cold and distant while local tough guy Röné is unmoved by the challenger to his rock 'n' roll crown. But that's not all. When the authorities see the effect Miki's gyrating hips and lewd music have on teenage girls, they won't stand for it. His father's job is on the line, and, for the first time, Miki must play by the rules. He has no choice but to enter the local talent show - and the rest is rock 'n' roll history.

The highest grossing Hungarian movie in 2009.

Shot in only 40 days.

The most difficult thing during the casting process was finding the right actor for the role of Röné. Many actors were invited to the casting, and in the last round Zoltán Schmied, Zsolt Nagy, Dávid Csányi, Csaba Zöld, Marcell Miklós, Zoltán Miller, Bálint Adorjáni were screen-tested with the eventual winner Tamás Szabó Kimmel (Miki).

Károly Gesztesi was originally set to play Miltényi. However, the actor got injured only 2 days before filming began. Acclaimed stage actor Géza D. Hegedüs stepped in at the last minute and took over the role.
