Three eras, three stories, three stages of life: the moving story of a Jewish family in Hungary that, over three generations—from 1840 to the Hungarian Revolution in 1956—has to fight against political rulers, social barricades, and inner conflicts, yet always sticks together. István Szabó has created a great portrait of an era and a society.
