Sziget a Szarazföldön

Judit Elek
1969 Hungary 100 minutes Hungarian

The portrait of an old woman who lives alone in a flat full of memories and old photographs in Budapest. When a neighbor dies, the janitor suggests she exchange her spacious apartment for a smaller one. As half of Budapest invades to vie for the flat, an impromptu party spontaneously erupts. Visitors bring cakes, play the piano and dance, and she feels happy. After she has moved, she returns to her solitary life.
