A film of loosely connected episodes and a ballad-like atmosphere records Hungarian peasant life in the fifties and the sixties through the story of young P&aacute;sztor Bal&aacute;zs. His innocent father is imprisoned in the fifties and thus Bal&aacute;zs, who wants to be a film director, is not admitted to film academy. He is employed in a co-operative as a land-surveyor. While he is organising a farming centre with his friend, Ili&aacute;sz, a Greek partisan, the local leaders force the men to join the co-operative. The angry women blame the uncompromising Ili&aacute;sz and beat him to death. Bal&aacute;zs is then at a Gypsy camp, where he can see how the authorities of cultural supremacy tread on human rights. He takes shocking photos of the decontamination squad&#x27;s operation.

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 F&oacute;t, 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 V&aacute;rk&uacute;t, 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 Ill&eacute;s Band is playing she does not resist G&aacute;bor&#x27;s defiant glances, either.
