Synopsis
Follows the story of Eszter, a striking woman in her middle years, who lives alone by choice in her family's home, with only the company of Nunu, a faithful servant of the family. Having reached a point of believing in a calm and safe second half of her life with few expectations, Eszter receives a telegraph that will change her life entirely once again and force her to face sentiments she herself does not understand. Years ago, she fell in love with Lajos, a charming and convincing young man. Eszter has continued to love him all her life, despite him turning out to be a disloyal con. Causing her near total ruin, Lajos ran off with Eszter's sister leaving her alone and financially destitute. All that remained in his wake was the family home she has occupied ever since. Now, some twenty years later, he has sent notice that he will at last be visiting with his two children--reentering Eszter's life unexpectedly. Upon receiving the telegraph, Eszter is flooded with old memories and new fears that she must somehow come to terms with.
