In 1970, large numbers of men with families had to spend almost 20 hours a week travelling by train to go to work in Budapest. At that time, this director made a film (« Fekete Vonat ») denouncing this state of affairs. 10 years later, we meet the son of one of them on his release on parole from a prison for young offenders. He is tense, anxious and alone, unable to find a place for himself in a society which is however full of good will towards him.
