Family Nest

A classic documentary-feature film of the "Budapest School" describes in close-ups a young couple in crisis situations, their circumstances and their breaking up. Irén and her little daughter, Krisztike are squeezed in a suburban room-and-kitchen flat, which they have to share with four relatives of her husband, now in the army. In this impossible small place every tiny problem ends in a scathing quarrel. Irén's father-in-law makes his son jealous and turns him against her. Irén breaks into a shabby temporary flat, hoping that with the child she will not be dislodged. They are convinced that a flat would solve all their problems. (official distributor synopsis)
