action
The young Hungarian Judith (Christiane Hörbiger) and her friend Taddek (Hans-Michael Rehberg) try to flee to the West after the failure of the Hungarian revolution in 1956. The young woman came to Austria, the man lost his freedom and, as one can assume, his life too. Twenty years later, Judith leads a comfortable life as a teacher in a small Austrian town. She lives in a large, middle-class house with the housekeeper Tetta (Jane Tilden) and her father-in-law (Hugo Gottschlich). Suddenly and completely unexpectedly, Taddek, who was believed to be dead, reappears and demands the love that fate and Judith owed him. The unexplained and the unspoken create an irresolvable conflict.
Reviews
"The return of someone believed dead who makes belated claims to love his former lover reveals deceit and betrayal and triggers a tragic, fatal conflict."
