Vera Angi (Vera Pap) is an employee of a hospital in post-WWIIHungary. She complains to her superiors about the unsanitary conditions in the hospital. As her proletarian background fits in nicely with the new doctrine of the communist regime, she is sent to a six-month education course. While in the school, she falls in love with the teacher István André (Tamás Dunai), while informers make conditions difficult for the students.
