Synopsis
In the last months of World War II Kata and János, in fact strangers to each other, are constrained to share a flat and live as husband and wife together in a house in the outskirts. Kata's husband is hid by the communist underground movement, while János is forced to hide because of his own activity in the movement. They both know that they need confidence to each other to be able to survive the situation emotionally. Kati is the one who is able to create the right atmosphere and intimacy between them and the budding live keeps them alive. The end of the war does not mean the end of the constrained situation at once: they have to get parted and then to feel the need of finding each other again.
