Károly Makk's beloved film, based on the autobiographical writings of Tibor Déry, is a meditation on time. memory, love and loss.
Two women - an elderly mother and a wife - await the return of political prisoner János.
Beautifully played by two giants of Hungarian cinema, Lili Darvas and Mari Törõcsik, the film is a subtle yet powerful exploration of the consequences of living under totalitarian rule.
Perfectly realised, Makk's tender masterpiece comes to Blu-ray for the first time anywhere in a gorgeous new 4K restoration.
