The mother loves her daughter; the daughter loves her mother. The tragedy of misunderstood love. The adaptation of Magda Szabó's novel translated into twelve languages.

The love of 34-year-old Dora's life, has broken up with her - or worse: he has remarried. Her only joy, the pastry shop she owns, also appears to be lost. She makes up her mind to get both her ex-boyfriend and her pastry shop back, even if it means she has to lie. Along the way, she meets other families, as well as her ex-boyfriend's new wife. These meetings make her realise the love she is clinging onto has no real basis. Dora stops living in a state of romantic self-pity, puts an end to the lying and opens up to the possibility of a new real relationship.

We cannot live only by our fears, because our greatest enemy in life will be ourselves, from which we will only be able to free ourselves by a trauma. We have to deal with our feelings and inner problems ourselves, we cannot suppress our anxiety after a while, we have to face them.
