The film features József Pelikán as a single father who previously participated in the WW2 communist movement of Hungary, but is now working at a dike. He meets an old friend from the underground communist movement, Zoltán Dániel, now a government official who fishes at the Danube, near the dike. Dániel falls in the river, and Pelikán rescues him and invites him to his home. The ÁVH receive a report stating Pelikán committed an illegal act of slaughtering a pig for food. Dániel tries to save him, but accidentally opens a hidden door to the basement, where all the pork had been hidden. Pelikán is taken to prison and later released, due to the "will of the higher command". Comrade Virág gives various assignments to Pelikán such as being the CEO of a swimming pool, an amusement park, and an orange-research facility; all to cause Pelikán to be the witness in a show trial against Zoltán Dániel. Before the trial they present Pelikán with testimony he must memorize, but Pelikán decides to tell the truth. He is thrown back in prison as a reprisal. While awaiting hanging, the political climate changes and he is released and meets Comrade Virág who has lost all his former power and influence.

Peu à peu abandonné par ses habitants, un village est condamné à une lente agonie. Ne restent bientôt qu'un couple, Anti et Juli, et une vieille voisine, surnommée « tante Erzsi » dont le fils vit au Canada. L'existence devient trop difficile sur ce coin de terre et Juli est progressivement annihilée par l'angoisse et le sentiment de solitude, car son fils est pensionnaire en ville et son mari doit travailler à l'extérieur. Et la mort de « tante Erzsi » achève de la désorienter... Un matin, elle se glisse plus ou moins volontairement à l'intérieur d'un précipice... Un film qui lie la fin d'un monde et la destruction progressive des repères personnels chez un être humain.
