Summary

Through intimate camera work, the film immerses the viewer in the worlds of two women, each searching for fulfillment: Kata, a middle-aged factory worker who wants to have a child with her married lover, and Anna, a teenage ward of the state determined to emancipate herself to marry her boyfriend. The bond that forms between the two speaks quietly but powerfully to the social and political forces that shape women's lives, as each navigates the realities of love, marriage, and motherhood in her quest for self-determination. Trailblazing auteur Mr̀ta Mšzr̀os gives aching expression to the experiences of women in 1970s Hungary in this sensitive and absorbing drama, which became the first film directed by a woman to win the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival
