at the Budapest newspaper where Eve, an outspoken lesbian journalist,
comes to work after two years of politically motivated unemployment.

consequences are mirrored by Hungary's oppression under Soviet rule.

Jankowska-Kieslak, Grazyna Szapolowska and Josef Kroner. "One of
cinema's most truly erotic films" (David Robinson, The Times).
