Sirius Deluxe Limited Edition Blu-ray presents Ákos D. Hamza’s long-lost Hungarian fantasy in a stunning new restoration from the original 35mm nitrate negative. Blending romance, time travel, and classical melodrama, this rediscovered gem stands as one of the most unique European genre films of its era.

 

When a charismatic playboy is transported back to the 18th century, he finds himself caught between two worlds — falling deeply in love while navigating aristocratic intrigue and the limits of time itself. As the clock ticks toward his return, he must decide whether love can survive across centuries.

 

Anchored by a powerful performance from Katalin Karády, whose real-life story is as remarkable as the film itself, Sirius combines sweeping romance with historical fantasy in a richly atmospheric experience.
