Histoire
The story unfolds in a small town in south-eastern Hungary during and after World War I. It revolves around the tumultuous marriage of Ondris, a Slovak man, and his wife Jadviga. Despite Ondris' devoted love for her, Jadviga remains indifferent, leading to an affair with Franci, a lawyer.

The plot is set against the backdrop of historical events: the dissolution of the Hapsburg monarchy and the independence movement of the Hungarian Slovaks, led by a priest. However, these political events primarily serve as a backdrop to the central drama of Ondris, Jadviga, and Franci.
