Synopsis

Leonid Zorin's Warsaw melody is also called the anthem of love. In our case, the Russian actress Anastasija Kargina learned Hungarian in order to play this role. Young Hungarian actor Máté Pásztor is a worthy partner in voicing the lyrical voices of the great Russian soul. Péter Benkő is a two-time Jászai Mari Award-winning artist. He performed the play countless times on stage with Kati Zsurzs, which was also made into a TV show.

We meet a Polish girl and a Russian boy who fall in love in Moscow in 1946. History intervenes: they cannot marry because of a communist decree. They start a new life, far from each other. A decade later, they are both married. Another ten years pass when they meet and old feelings rekindle. But can their relationship be fulfilled?
