A
bubbly 18-year-old girl (Törőcsik Mari) falls for a farm working comrade (Soós
Imre), but finds her path to true love blocked by her disapproving father (Barsi
Béla), who, having just left the local farming collective to strike out on his
own, favours a fellow independent farmer (Szirtes Ádám) as a potential husband
for her, in Fábri’s decidedly potent romantic drama. Though the Communist
propaganda might put some people off, the film’s dynamic direction, striking
photography, and excellent performances (particularly from the radiant Törőcsik
and the intense Soós) should easily assuage most viewers’ potential misgivings.
