Savanyú and his friend work at a plant. After the monotonous shifts they engage in the pleasures of the afternoon and the night, i.e. parties and concerts. Savanyú dates Juli, they are already engaged. The young men live as sub-tenants, the young women in workers' hostels. None of these places are suited for spending time together. They are in need of an apartment. Out of the ruinous apartment which they lay siege on, however, they are sent away by the otherwise friendly policeman. At a concert held in the Park of Youth, Juli gets to know Géza. They flirt, then go to the country with a pop-group. Savanyú and his friends follow them. A minor fight cools the atmosphere.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative on the clash between factory monotony and the explosive energy of youth culture, relying on vibrant music and a quasi-documentary style to capture a specific moment in time.

What lingers after the final frame is a poignant sense of restless youth, where the desire for personal space and freedom collides with the rigid structures of everyday life. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Márta Mészáros
