Synopsis

Based on a true story, Siberian Chárdás recalls the adventures of Hungarian soldiers captured by Russia during the First World War and held in the most remote prisoner-of-war camp in Siberia. It was here that the operetta "Csárdáskirálynő" was performed, based on a script written from fragments of a Russian-French translation and a score set to music from memory, with the female roles played by soldiers with flat feet, hairy legs and hairy faces.

In this case, the question is not: will the audience applaud at the end? If the Russian camp commander is satisfied with the performance, he will let the prisoners of war, who have been away from their homeland for years, go home. The only one who can bring success to the ragtag company is the celebrated conductor of the former Vienna and Budapest performances of "Csárdáskirálynő", but he is sceptical and does not believe in the success of the performance - for a while...
