Takács Péter is determined to learn the whole truth about his father, Gaál Péter's death. According to his mother, Gaál was killed on the battle-line on 2nd December, 1944. However, a friend of his father's, Kánitz, a film director, shows him a fragment of a film in which Gaál can be seen in the middle of December. Following the story told by Kánitz, Takács goes to see the eye-witnesses. Doctor Klára last saw Gaál in the company of a doctor pretending to be a Hungarian arrow-cross Nazi: they were secretly providing help to the resistance fighters and deserters. The Nazi Mensics wanted him to shoot Jews dead, but Gaál fled. He found shelter with a military baker who later witnessed that he was shot dead during a Nazi-raid on 24th December. Peter is shocked by the story revealed. He needs the compassionate support of his old girlfriend, Anna. (official distributor synopsis)
