In 1919, in Budapest, Anna, a young peasant girl, starts working as a maid for the wealthy Vizy family.
An adaptation of Dezső Kosztolányi's 1926 novel of the same name, [3] [4] the film stars Mari Törőcsik in the title role. [5] [6] The film only had minor deviations and "a more sociological and historical edge by downplaying the psychological dimensions" from the novel. [7]
The film has been considered "the epitome of a generation" [8] and "(o)ne of the most shocking classics in Hungarian film history". [6] It also was noted in the career of Fábri as "a return to his top form, combining a portrait of the 1920s with penetrating psychological analysis." [9]
