In a wedding party Máté and Mari dance with each other, they are happy, just like on the merry-go-round not so long ago. Pataki forbids his daughter from Máté, Farkas urges the marriage. Mari protests, Pataki in his anger throws an axe to her, Mari in return leaves the parents' house. Máté finds her between the rails.

This 1950s village drama tells a traditional love story of two young people whose union is not to this around them. The suggestive consuming atmosphere makes you forget the second storyline in which the main character's father joins the cooperative. Among the film's highlights are the meeting of the young people at the fair and their jointly rehearsed dance that precedes their wedding. The delicate emotions expressed on the face of debutant Mari Töröcsik contrast sharply with the raw environment in which her protagonist lives. Imre Soós, on the other hand, forms a decisive solid element in the young couple. It may be symbolic in retrospect that the then-promising Töröcsik is still acting today, both domestically and abroad (for example in Szabó's Sunshine), but this was Soós's penultimate film and he died immediately afterward.
