The Quest is a visually stunning Hungarian animated feature based on Mihály Vörösmarty’s 19th-century dramatic poem, titled Csongor és Tünde. The story follows Csongor, a young man on a quest to reunite with his true love, Tünde, accompanied by his loyal but clumsy friend, Balga. Along the way, they encounter various characters who challenge Csongor’s views on life and love. However, an evil force, Mirigy, threatens to derail both Csongor’s journey and his faith in true love. Blending Hungarian folklore with captivating animation, the film is inspired by the legendary Attila Dargay, a key figure in Hungarian animation known for his imaginative storytelling and groundbreaking style. With its timeless themes, breathtaking animation, and a powerful message about love and perseverance, The Quest is poised to captivate audiences worldwide.
