- Mail author for translation. Kos Ferenc elgyotorten, betegen erkezik meg a haborubol. Mig odavolt, felesege meghalt, kisfiat sogornoje, a pupos Tera nevelte. A lany Ferencet is elhalmozza szeretetevel, hisz titokban szerelemes a ferfiba. Ferenc azonban hamarosan uj asszonyt hoz a hazhoz, a szep Zsuzsat. Tera ahol csak lehet, bosszantja, gancsolja az asszonyt. Ferenc sokaig csak tetlenul nezi, hogy megy tonkre csaladi boldogsaga...—Steve Varadi <svaradi@sprynet.com>
- From Brandon International Films' rental catalog #28: Three people - a returned prisoner of war, his beautiful second wife, and the possessive, hunchbacked spinseter who is his sister-in-law by his first marriage - are isolated in a little house under an extinct volcano, where each strives for personal happiness but is suffocated by his dependence on the others.
The first major work of a young Hungarian director, set in the village of Badacsony, whose volcanic rocks rise over the waters of Lake Balaton.
Ferenc returns from war. He lives with Tera, his dead wife's sister, who has cared for his child and his land and now wishes to care for him and his new wife, Zsuzsa. Slowly and mercilessly, as the atmosphere in the house under the rocks becomes as volcanic as the setting, Tera ruins the life of the young couple. To keep Zsuzsa from leaving, Ferenc kills Tera. Zsuzsa flees in horror, and Ferenc has to face his punishment.
