Janos ve Kata, İkinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında bir araya gelir ve Nazilerden saklanmak için karı koca gibi davranmak zorunda kalırlar. Yeni ilişkilerinin yoğunluğu ve boğucu yakınlığı ve kendilerini içinde buldukları koşullar, onları geçmiş önyargıları ve varsayımlarıyla yüzleşmeye ve gerçekten inandıkları şeylere meydan okumaya zorlar.

Confidence

Nagy István, the formerly poor peasant boy returns to his native village as a teacher. His conviction is that the abyss between rich and poor can be diminished by good will. The rich Böröcz Horváth Klári returns his love, and also Böröcz Horváth is willing to help the poorest family, the Bakos. Bakos Jóska, who was sent to serve the tough Böröcz Horváth as a payment, dies of an infected wound and the people in the village hold the teacher liable as well. Nagy István realises, that the abyss cannot be ceased, what is more, it is impassable. He breaks up with his fiancée and stands by the side of the poor.
