action

The film is about the motivation and experiences of the Hungarian athlete András Balczó that at the 1972 Olympics in Munich Olympic champion in modern pentathlon was and turned down after numerous offers from around the world to stay in Hungary and to train the local sports talent.

Reviews

“Balczó formulates his criticism of the sports establishment as if he were also settling accounts with the political officials. [...] Nevertheless, "Sendung" is only a political film in the second place. Balezó's disgust also applies to the corrupting career thinking in the West. "
