An early film by acclaimed Hungarian filmmaker Márta Mészáros follows a group of young people as their shift at the factory ends and they head out into the streets, bars, and concerts. We witness their joy of life, their attempts to briefly forget the drudgery of work — and, in the case of the main heroine, perhaps also the dull married life awaiting her. A free‑flowing, dreamlike film, imbued with the atmosphere of late‑1960s/early‑1970s Hungarian beat music.
