On receiving a letter from her mother, a quiet working-class girl leaves the state orphanage in Budapest where she grew up and takes a trip to the rural countryside to visit her.
With an engaging central character, around whom "things happen", it's difficult to critique the plot, as I suspect that that wasn't the main game here…. However, her actions, reactions, and interactions with the other characters build nicely into a rounded picture of who she is (probably) and how she feels (maybe).
Given that some of the interactions are pretty significant (I won't add spoilers, but I loved the character of the stalker), she seems to exhibit admirable sang-froid throughout and maintains her agency in what feels like a very modern and feminist way.
