Her father, a famous sculptor, was arrested during the Great Purge of the 1930s in the Soviet Union and has not been heard from since. Her mother, a painter who spoke multiple languages, often took Júlia to the movies but passed away when Júlia was very young. Júlia returns to Hungary with her grandparents and lives with her aunt Magda. Magda was formerly an underground member and after the war became the editor of a newspaper; her apartment is luxurious and comfortable. Júlia attends a school for the privileged class children, and her aunt wishes to adopt her. However, Júlia disagrees and does not like Magda. She skips school to watch movies, reminiscing about her past life and missing her parents. Júlia is fond of her aunt's old comrade János, an old Bolshevik and chief engineer of a large factory. János's wife and daughter were killed in an air raid, and his son became disabled. He also cares for Júlia. Eventually, Magda becomes a prison warden and actively participates in the Great Purge starting in 1949, leading to János's sudden disappearance. Júlia decides to leave Magda and work in a factory. In 1953, she visits János in prison and signals that she will wait with his son for his return.
