Budapest, 1952. One day, Kati, a dreamy 13-year-old, learns that her mother has died. Since her father works in the countryside, the girl remains in the flat with the other tenants although in truth she is totally alone. In her imagination she resurrects her much loved mother, who thus continues to watch over her daughter. Everyone feels sorry for her because of her orphaned state but she herself has no interest in empty pleasantries. She seeks her own experiences and determines to follow her own path. In just one year the dreamy teen blossoms into a young woman. The novel by director Judit Elek (1964) forms the basis for this film.
Free tickets for the screening can be collected at the cinema’s box office.
