In the autumn of 1849 Júlia Szendrey set off to Transylvania to search for traces of her lost husband, the famous poet Sándor Petőfi. The journey is exhausting and at nights the young widow finds it hard to cope with being alone…
A film about jealousy, loneliness, the agony caused by memories, and the foolishness of national pathos – based on the writings of Gyula Krúdy.
