The film is an interpretation of everyday life and privacy as well as the first love-triangle story after 1945. Benkő Lajos, the country librarian, is stationed in the capital. In lack of a suitable apartment, his wife and children have to stay in the country. He falls in love with his colleague Edit, and after her initial reserve, she returns his feelings. Benkő's visits to Szeghalom become less and less frequent, and Christmas Eve ends in a terrible row. Márta travels to Budapest to clear up the situation with her husband, and it is she who opens the door as Edit arrives. (official distributor synopsis)
