CGiii Comment
Political repression circa late 50s - Hungary...made in the early 80s.
Frankly, it's below average...and, tediously familiar in that the couple are complete opposites....one is married in a mechanical relationship, the other is a steadfast lesbian with political leanings...
The jazz soundtrack sounds more like the noises that emanate from the dentist...the story is uninspired and dull.
Starting the film with the ending is foolish - especially when the story can't retain the interest throughout.

The(ir) Blurb...
Political and sexual repression in Hungary, just after the revolution of 1956. In 1958, the body of Eva Szalanczky, a political journalist, is discovered near the border. Her friend Livia is in hospital with a broken neck; Livia's husband, Donci, is under arrest. In a flashback to the year before, we see what leads up to the tragedy. Eva gets a job as a writer. She meets Livia and is attracted to her. Livia feels much the same, but as a married woman, has doubts and hesitations. In their work, they (and Eva in particular) bang up against the limits of telling political truths; in private, they confront the limits of living out sexual and emotional truth.
