The 42-year-old Aladar (Károly Hajduk) lives a solitary life in Budapest in the years following his imprisonment and the loss of his wife and child during the Holocaust. When he meets 16-year-old Klara (Abigél Szõke), whose family was also murdered by the Nazis, they form a father-daughter connection that helps them both heal. As Hungary falls under the postwar shadow of the Soviet Union, the innocence of their relationship is called into question. Barnabás Tóth's film is a lyrical meditation on the power of love to bolster the human spirit in the face of trauma and conflict.
