About

Andras Vayda grows up in a turbulent, war-torn Hungary, where he procures local girls for the occupying G.I.'s during World War II. Disappointed by girls of his age, he meets Maya, a married women in her thirties, who tutors him in the lessons of love and romance. Maya is only the first of many mature women that Andras will meet through his teenage and young adult life.

This wartime drama trades typical combat chaos for the quiet, erotic education of a young man by a sophisticated older woman. It subverts the coming-of-age trope by focusing on the sensual wisdom of maturity rather than youthful rebellion.
