The war has been over for 7 days, people are starving in the destroyed Budapest. Andris leaves his home to get food for his mother and himself.

Today is the seventh day of peace in Budapest, people are happy but they are starving. Unable to watch his mother suffer, Andris packs up some clothes and leaves the destroyed city in hope that he can exchange for food in the countryside. He succeeds, but the way back is fraught with dangers. He meets many people, some helpful, while others want his takings. Being a smart boy, he fights through all obstacles until he runs straight into the arms of a prostitute.—mrtanaka
