Synopsis

Set in Budapest during the waning days of World War II, Kata (Ildikó Bánsági) is forced to leave her home after her husband is compelled into hiding. She is placed under the protection of a man known only as János (Péter Andorai), a resistance operative, and instructed to pose as his wife in a safe house. 

Living in constant fear of Nazi detection, the two strangers must navigate an intimate, suffocating existence where they cannot fully trust one another—János, scarred by past betrayal, is emotionally distant, while Kata struggles with her isolation. The film focuses on the psychological tension, suspicion, and eventual love that develops between them as their forced intimacy challenges their perceptions of trust.
