“The power in her narrative is its effortlessness and fragility... It's a story told through expressions, focusing on faces, eye movements and gestures.” - IONCINEMA.com · 4 years ago If you're interested in other classics of the era, Adption Blu-ray review | Cine Outsider

Critics and viewers alike praise the film's lack of melodrama and its honest, un-sentimental approach to motherhood and friendship.

The story follows Kata, a 43-year-old factory worker who longs for a child of her own. Her life is one of routine and isolation until she meets Anna, a rebellious teenager living in a nearby state hostel.

“Mészáros avoids any moralising: the complications of the affair are just a backdrop... [Kata's] toughness attracts a young girl, Anna... Their bond awakens in both a sense of solidarity.” BFI Southbank Programme Notes · 4 years ago

The DVD5 NTSC format provides a solid, though standard-definition, presentation. While it lacks the ultra-crisp detail of the more recent 4K restorations found on Criterion or Second Run Blu-rays, it preserves the film's essential, stark black-and-white aesthetic.
