In a background which can refer to both Hungary's fascist society of the 1930s and 40s, as well as a nod to the current communist authorities in Budapest at the time, there are mass protests by university students; dubious suspensions; a fire caused by misconduct; an opportunistic academic council; and an alignment of research with ideology. That alone would make for rather depressing watching were it not for Bela Rabbit, an inconspicious man with thin hair, a stooped posture and soft voice, but a man of upright morals and convictions. He's a total non-entity and ignored by all ... that is, until a paper of his is published by the academic council. In his work, he re-assesses the death of Carthaginian general Hannibal, who, according to Bela Rabbit, didn't die of poisoning, as widely believed, but fell victim to a revolution back home. Unfortunately, the implications of such a fact are not quite in line with the agenda of the ruling, right-wing government. First embraced, congratulated and presented with cigars and champagne for coming to the attention of the authorities, the mood of the people around him quickly changes, when it's realized he's being used as a scapegoat for persecution, humiliation, and expulsion from society.
