Laci, the successful pianist, is disillusioned with life and hankers for something new. This is when he meets Mari and immediately falls in love with her. He begins to write songs for Mari and they play together in their orchestra. However, Mari’s deaf-mute husband is not happy with the new situation, despite being offered the job of drummer. When Mari leaves both of them, the despairing husband stabs Laci. János Xantus’s first feature film is an out-and-out postmodern melodrama, which became the most popular, cult work of the trend known as the ‘new sensitivity’ developing in the mid-1980s.
