1952, Budapest. Kati is thirteen years old when her mother dies. Her father works as a founder at the Miskolc foundry, deprived of his former position of director-engineer. Kati is left alone in their flat, transformed into a place crowded with tenants. That is, not quite: in her imagination her mother is alive again, for she still needs her. One of the tenants, a former second-hand book seller, gets permission to emigrate and leaves. Kati puts up a boy selling books in the street. The boy was previously imprisoned for illegal border-crossing. The head-master finds Katis diary and wants her to be expelled from school. Her father would like to take her to Miskolc, but she refuses to go. After her first night spent with Feri, she decides that she does not need mother any more but is capable of living her own life.
