Plot Summary

In 1894, in Csuča, tragedy-stricken, from a blood-relative marriage, Boncza Berta is born. At the age of sixteen, at a girls' boarding school in Switzerland, she admires Jenő Törzs and Endre Ady with equal fervour. She writes poetry and believes in her drawing talent - but she cannot be mediocre - this girl who lives in literature is destined to live forever. Chinska's personality, which neither reckons nor wants to reckon with reality, naturally leads to the bitter ordeal of her marriage to Ady. After Ady's death, she does not want to be the 'widow of the nation'.
