A Hungarian soldier returning from fighting in the Second World War marries the woman he believes to be the widow of a former comrade who he thinks died in the Prisoner of War camp in which they were held. The film was banned in Hungary because of its depiction of the controversial issue of Hungarian prisoners held by the Soviets.
Балинт Зеке, старый честный деревенский мельник, оставляет свою водяную мельницу Анне, своей единственной дочери, в то время как завещание также предусматривает, что мельница будет управляться Матиасом Форинтосом, молодым мельником, которого он воспитывал с самого раннего детства и относится к нему как к собственному сыну. Двое молодых людей, похоже, «все равно нравятся друг другу», и их брак сделает старика счастливым.
A simple, religious Hungarian woodcutter lives with his wife and boy child with a small community of squatters among the peaceful mountains of Transylvania until a lumber company claims their land and forces them all to become company workers or else leave the land. This 1942 Hungarian film takes a detailed and unflinching look at the hardships of mountain living, and the realistic approach proved influential to the Neorealist movement in Italian cinema. Hungarian master director Istvan Szots won the Biennale Cup at the Venice Film Festival for his auspicious debut, but the film was banned by the Nazis as "too Catholic" and not publicly exhibited until after World War II.
