The poetic love story depicting everyday life from a micro-psychological aspect takes place in the 1910s. Sándor, editor of the local paper, serves as a foot soldier on Sundays, but spends weekdays playing billiard and courting women. One Sunday afternoon - in soldier's uniform - he meets Vilma, the beautiful maid, whose honesty and chastity turns the adventure to love. Sándor makes her believe that he is the son of a peasant farmer, and for all his efforts is never able to tell her the truth. Vilma is a maid in the house of Bodrogi, a lawyer. Previously, Sándor had been courting Bodrogi's daughter. The Sunday soldier regularly visits Vilma. One day, when she discovers the editor among a group of guests at an evening ball, she understands that she has been victim to a foul play, and suddenly gives notice of leaving. Her landlord is unable to understand her behaviour, while Sándor sits soaked in shame over the ruins of the dinner. (official distributor synopsis)
