A vád

The Christmas of 1944. The Pásztor family (father, mother, four daughters and a grandchild), are spending the holidays at their country farm. Péter, mothers apple of the eye, soon arrives, and has no objections when his soldiers uniform is made to disappear during the night. The Soviet army, arriving in the footsteps of the fleeing Hungarian army, is commandeering. At night, the soldiers turn up at the house where young women are abiding. They are trying to rape the elder daughter. Péter kills one of the soldiers, while the other runs away. The next day an investigator of the Soviet army arrives at the farm. He finds out that his men have tried to rape women, and shoots down the surviving soldier. He then sends the youngest of the daughters as well as the grandchild to the neighbouring farm. The Pásztor family is held responsible for the death of the two soldiers. They are questioned, confronted and disgraced. The army investigator, upon a warning from his superior, changes the charge: the family members have been trying to rape two Soviet female soldiers, and killed the soldiers who tried to protect them. The parents and Péter are executed, while three of the daughters are sentenced to work at a forced labor camp. Two of them die there. The surviving fourth has them rehabilitated in 1992. Those executed are never rehabilitated. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)
