The Girl

The documentarist film depicts how a young weaver girl is trying to find herself and what identity-problems she has. Szőnyi Erzsi, textile-worker, grew up in Fót, the town for neglected children. She puts an advertisement in the papers, trying to find her parents and unexpectedly gets a reply. She visits her mother in Várkút, who is scared of her beautiful and too natural daughter and continues to hide their relationship from her husband. Erzsi, lonesome and depressed by her failure lets things happen to her. She starts a passing affair with the boy she met on the train. She listens to a depraved man who tells her about his dead parents and comforts him. Then, in a club, where the Illés Band is playing she does not resist Gábor's defiant glances, either.
