This Hungarian film chronicles the slow deterioration in the life of Juli, a farmer's wife. As the countryside grows ever more deserted because people are moving to towns or large collective farms, she spends more and more time alone. Despite her best efforts to appreciate her situation, her despair grows. The loneliness is briefly interrupted when she and her husband take in an old woman and care for her, but the woman dies. Shortly after her son visits, she is killed in an accident which may have been a suicide. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Un niño asiste al funeral de su padre en una Budapest arrasada tras los bombardeos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial recién finalizada. El fantasma del progenitor, convertido en figura heroica, sobrevuela constantemente la vida de Tako, convertido a su vez en héroe, por herencia paterna, a los ojos de los otros niños. En contra de lo que podría esperarse de este argumento, István Szabó huye deliberadamente de cualquier pretensión de solemnidad y se decanta por el terreno de la ironía y el absurdo en el relato vital del protagonista desde la niñez hasta los tiempos de joven universitario, con el trasfondo de la emergente figura de Stalin tras la guerra.
