September 1938. Tenants of a Budapest block of flats live their everyday lives, conducted by tradition. World politics does not divide them. Their major experience is the private life of the actress in the house. September 1942. The teacher, who believes in nationalist principles, sits separate from the others. An arrow-cross group turns up. The baron wants to emigrate and the Jewish doctor Stark is seriously hurt by Egon, now on the teacher's side. September 1944. The actress gives shelter to her lover's wife and the conductor in the house denounces her. Egon and the students join an anarchist. An air-raid comes and the house collapses burying everybody but the fool. (official distributor synopsis)
