Three weight lifting champions in one family; Dad is coach and sponsor in one. Mom represents the rich hinterland; she works non-stop in their family enterprises. Grandma is in charge of housekeeping. What is the way to success? How and why could three children from one family become internationally acclaimed sportsmen? What sufferings and ordeals would you have to endure today in Hungary to make it to the top in a sport monetarily underprivileged? A family portrait gives all the answers. The first couple of shots for this documentary were taken nearly two years ago. At that time it was only a dream for the Likerecz family that János would win third place at the World Junior Championship (1997) and that Attila and especially 14-year old Gyöngyike would be in the limelight due to their amazing and astonishing top performance at the recent European Teenager Championship.
