The woman who formerly attempted to commit suicide by jumping off the fourth floor is now a unmarried mother of two. Both her mother and grandmother raised their children in an isolated, closed-up environment, with no men in sight. But Jenő, the energetic factory worker and the father of Nóra's third child, brings the air of change into their lives. After work, he collects mistletoes to be able to buy the used Opel in which he would like to bring free vegetables from the small holding of his parents to his populous family. Nóra has no marriage in mind this time either, but as a result of the scenes with her quarrelsome mother the of them get married. Mother-in-law and son-in-law renovate the house together, while Nóra is getting prepared for the difficult caesarectomy. (official distributor synopsis)
