A documentary-fiction about a working class couple. Irén with her little daughter Krisztike moves in with four people of her husband’s family in a single room flat in one of the outer districts of Budapest while the husband is doing his military service. In the incredible small space every minor problem turns into a murderous quarrel. The father-in-law arouses his son’s jealousy, undermining his marriage. Irén and her daughter move in a shabby sub-standard flat as squatters, hoping that they would not be evicted. She is sure that living on their own would solve all problems.
