Synopsis

1986, Hungarian village. Cleaning rags arrive to the local factory: used clothes from the forbidden but desired West. Women of the village gather in the secret of the night to open up the container and indulge their craving for glamorous Parisian fashion. Ecstatic joy replaces the dull grayness of the socialist regime, but desire to possess and sudden greed overwrite basic human values in a second. Absurd portrait of an absurd era.
