Synopsis edit
The story follows Juli, a young film student, during the 1956 Hungarian uprising. Returning from her studies in Moscow, she sees her friends and family react differently. János, a married factory manager, supports the patriots and later assists fellow workers in staging a strike. Magda, a Secret police officer, is in hiding. Others express anger at being forced from their homes during the revolution. Some decide to emigrate, others stay...
A particularly surreal scene involves a New Year's Eve party in which the participants wear costumes. An intoxicated woman yells anti-government curses out of the window. Within a very short time police arrive and look suspiciously at the guests, who are all wearing ridiculous costumes.
The film contains documentary footage integrated with the story.
