Plot
editThe story takes place in Óbuda in the 1930s. István Pettersen is a well-meaning, excellent fabric dyer, yet unemployed and homeless. He pulls himself into a miserable hut set on an abandoned plot and devotes his life from casual work. He meets and spends some happy days in the viscose with the orphaned Vera, who works at the local laundromat but dreams that, like her mother, she will one day be a dancer. Her boss, the wealthy Mr. Weiszhaupt, had long looked her in, and when the girl arrives late for work, he blackmails her.
