Gyöngyvér Demjén

The film is a ballad about the dwellers of a block-of-flats in Angyalföld.

The story is set in the stifling atmosphere of the 1950s. The highly politicized everyday life of the period unfolds from the perspective of a young man coming from a poor peasant background who wins entry to the humanities faculty in Budapest. The film shows how politics interferes in and corrodes the private lives of people.

A young doctor undergoes a spiritual crisis when he returns to his rural home.
