Contents: The film is a documentary-feature film based on real stories and made with amateur actors. The district pioneer secretary is assigned to find a pioneer who can play a musical instrument, has a working-class background, and studies well at school and appoint him for a one-month-long premium holiday in Britain. He finds a guitarist, Balogh Tibi, in a village school. The boy’s parents are dragged from their work in the field to sign an assent statement to their son’s holiday in Britain. The mother, an uneducated woman who has never been outside her village, gets confused and embarrassed, and she suddenly regrets that she has consented to the child’s leave... With some pressure she gets her husband too, to withdraw the consent. What the boy himself would wish to do nobody asks at all, and in the end a rather unintelligent and much less talented child of more shrewdly pragmatic parents can travel to Britain.

contents: The documentary-feature film, featuring amateur players and showing the life of three sisters in its simple dull flow of events, has grown to be the symbol of the Budapest School. The Kertész-girls live in a little apartment in a block of flats in Budapest with their parents. At the beginning of the film, each talks about her dream-future. They would like to have glass-walled rooms, well-to-do husbands, apartments in the greens, dogs, travelling, smiling children, social life...The camera creating the illusion of reality monitors two years of their lives. The plans of the middle sister, Ági, seem to have come true to the greatest extent. She is going to be an economist and is interested in philosophy. Yet the failure of her relationship and an abortion make her realise how empty her life has been. She starts making sociographic reports. Mari, the youngest is an administrator. She, who dreamed of being a poet, jumps quickly into a marriage but also has an extra-marital relationship and her journalistic ambitions are soon forgotten about. Zsuzsa is a textile designer, feeling equally unfortunate both in her private and in her professional life, and she attempts to commit suicide. The sisters meet at her bedside and following a long and deep discussion, decide to continue their struggle with life in a more wise way, having learned of each other's experiences.
