Franciska Gál is a country housemaid during the 1940s. She and the neighbouring jeweller Lajos are in love; on weekends, she tears around with Lajos on his motorbike, just like in the movies. During the war, the owners and Lajos are taken away into a forced labour battalion because they are Jews. In 1945, Franciska begins to make her way in life. She pursues a dual existence in the capital: during the week she is a guard in a labour camp, but she gives her Sundays to the escaped, bicycle-hiring man who has a side business in gold rings. Then one day in 1956, instead of Lajos she finds a cassette tape bearing the message that he is going to visit his daughter in Canada.
