I saw this film in Paris in 1990, so I can't remember details and offer only a shallow comment, but I do remember that I liked it very much. Not just because I had never seen a movie from Hungary and that it was made in the same time period as the French Nouvelle Vague, but because it presented a conflict that young women must have felt all over that part of Europe - that dancing, music, freedom (internal and external) could have a new meaning for them, as they existed in an old culture where older women still dressed in black and say little.
