On a Sunday afternoon a stranger appears in a family’s life, being soaking wet. His arrival gives the opportunity to discuss an old tragedy to restore the order in the family left without a father. Every member is running away from their problems and turning cold, reacts differently to the arrival of the mysterious man: someone would take him in, but others, on the other hand, would banish him. The question is now whether the grandmother, Sári and Beni can still break out of their loneliness that has been felt so safe, or they have already spent too much time in solitude. The film was inspired by the poem Családi kör (’Family Circle’) of the Hungarian poet, János Arany.
