Csöre is a 7-year-old orphan girl living in unbearable circumstances in rural Hungary during the 1920s.

Fate is equally hard on her in both places. It would appear that there is no end to the humiliations the innocent child has to bear. László Ranódy adapts for film the classic novel by Zsigmond Móricz, with shattering effect.
