Hungarian Eye / Masters of the Light
Budapest, 1930s. Two young people, Pettersen and Vera, meet, dance and spend a night together. The boy is unemployed, the girl has just been given a job in a laundry. Both yearn for something better yet it is extremely difficult to break out of the cycle of poverty. When Vera is approached by the wealthy and manipulative boss of the laundry, the girl faces a choice: living an honest but miserable existence with Pettersen, whereas as the lover of the boss she could expect greater prosperity. Mari Törőcsik, who won a name for her role in Körhinta (Merry-Go-Round), revealed a new side in this profoundly socially sensitive, lyrical film.
