In spring 1957 Budapest, former lovers Sándor and Mónika reunite after 16 years at a street‐corner café. Their conversation flashes back to 1941, when Hungary joined WWII under Horthy and eight fresh teacher‐graduates, including Sándor and Mónika, vowed lifelong solidarity. War and shifting politics fracture their bond and force each to choose a path through turbulent decades. The drama echoes the 1956 uprising: participants seeking reform are branded “counter‐revolutionaries,” denounced by steadfast communists like László, who scorns defectors such as Béla for “dishonouring socialism and the people.”
