The film is based on the Hungarian folk tale Fehérlófia, its plot draws from the symbol library of Avar, Hun and Hungarian origin tales. Fehérlófia, or Fanyűvő as it is also known, the boy with superhuman strength, was born by a white mare. The story is his story of development and initiation, respectively: he sets out on a journey to defeat the three, seven - and twelve-headed dragons that took over the world after the death of the White Horse, and free his Autumn, Spring, and Summer Beauties, who were kidnapped by the dragons. During his journey, he copes with two other powerful men, Kőmorzsolo and Vasgyúro, who side with the boy and outsmart the cunning old man who tempts the boys, the Hétszűnyű Kapanyányi Monyós.
