What happens

Szaffi (USA titled The Treasure of Swamp Castle) is a 1985 Hungarian-Canadian animated film directed by Attila Dargay. It is based on the 1885 book The Gypsy Baron by Mór Jókai, about the romance between a poor Hungarian aristocrat and a mysterious Romani-looking Turkish girl in the 18th century. Music from Johann Strauss II's operetta The Gypsy Baron, based on the same novel, is used for the film's soundtrack. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
