The documentary-feature film, featuring amateur players and showing the life of three sisters in its simple dull flow of events, has grown to be the symbol of the Budapest School. The Kertész-girls live in a little apartment in a block of flats in Budapest with their parents. At the beginning of the film, each talks about her dream-future. They would like to have glass-walled rooms, well-to-do husbands, apartments in the greens, dogs, travelling, smiling children, social life. The camera creating the illusion of reality monitors two years of their lives. The plans of the middle sister, Ági, seem to have come true to the greatest extent. She is going to be an economist and is interested in philosophy. Yet the failure of her relationship and an abortion make her realise how empty her life has been. She starts making sociographic reports. Mari, the youngest is an administrator. She, who dreamed of being a poet, jumps quickly into a marriage but also has an extra-marital relationship and her journalistic ambitions are soon forgotten about. Zsuzsa is a textile designer, feeling equally unfortunate both in her private and in her professional life, and she attempts to commit suicide. The sisters meet at her bedside and following a long and deep discussion, decide to continue their struggle with life in a more wise way, having learned of each other's experiences.
