His very best friend János Pásztor was an informer, spying on him and writing reports about him for decades. Sára Cserhalmi's first feature focuses not so much on the actual problem of informing and betrayal as on the contradictory relationship of the two protagonists. It avoids any final judgments.

Can a close friendship that began decades ago last if such betrayal comes to light? How can someone live and cope with this fact?
