SYNOPSIS
Piroska is an overweight, alienated nurse who can’t resist cream-filled pastries. She works in the terminal ward of a hospital; her life is surrounded by death. One day she sets off to find her long-lost childhood friend. While tracing her recollections, she embarks on a paradox-filled voyage within her own memory and the memory of those she encounters.
THE FILM IS AN UNUSUAL, PEDESTRIAN/PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ROAD MOVIE, ALSO OFFERING A SORT OF CROSS-SECTION OF SOCIETY AS PIROSKA ENCOUNTERS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT LIVES AND FATES. FROM ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE, IT IS AN INNER ROAD MOVIE, A STORY OF DEVELOPMENT, SHOWING THE PROCESS THROUGH WHICH PIROSKA COMES TO RECOGNIZE HERSELF, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY THE MANIFOLD NATURE OF REALITY AND THE SUBJECTIVITY AND RELATIVITY OF MEMORY.
