Spoilers ahead
Winter (1942/1943) unfolds at the Csárda, where a small circle of farmworkers gather to weigh their options for the harsh years ahead. They debate a risky path to Germany, hoping wages there will outstrip conscription and offer a safer future. Their presence on the estate is tolerated by a Hungarian manager whose family barely escaped to the USA, while an elderly, ailing estate owner oversees land and life, his only son serving as a soldier far from home. Nearby, a prisoner-of-war camp holds French detainees, whom the workers are strictly forbidden to approach. Among them is Bacskó Bandi, István Szilágyi, a focal voice in the conversations about survival and duty.
