THE DOOR

KATALIN STREET

In pre-war Budapest three families live on gracious Katalin Street, their lives closely intertwined. But in 1944, after the German occupation, only the Elekes family survives intact. In the post-war regime they struggle to come to terms with social and political change, and the death of little Henriette, who had been left in their protection. But the girl survives in a miasmal afterlife, and reappears at key moments as a mute witness to the inescapable power of past events.
