Summary

In the shadow-drenched corridors of the Garlathy industrial complex, Keller, a man whose conscience is as muddled as his ledger, finds himself ensnared in a web of embezzlement. His illicit financial machinations are discovered by the formidable director, Garlathy, who offers a chilling ultimatum: prison for Keller, or his daughter, Jolán, as Garlathy's bride. This is not merely a transaction but a soul-crushing decree, for Jolán's heart belongs unequivocally to Bánky, a bright young engineer. Faced with an impossible choice, Keller, burdened by his own transgressions, confides in Bánky, painting a bleak picture of his impending ruin and the fate that awaits Jolán. Out of a profound, self-sacrificing love, Bánky, with a heavy heart, severs ties with Jolán, leaving her adrift in a sea of confusion and despair. The ensuing marriage to Garlathy is, predictably, a barren landscape of unhappiness, a gilded cage for Jolán's spirit. The true, agonizing reason behind Bánky's sudden withdrawal remains a haunting enigma until Keller's death, which finally unearths the terrible secret. Yet, the saga of Garlathy's vindictiveness is far from over; he seeks to weaponize the past, fabricating charges to imprison Bánky. It is in this crucible of injustice that Jolán, empowered by the truth, finds her voice, her confession becoming the singular, defiant act that ultimately saves Bánky from a fate unjustly sealed, tearing down the edifice of deceit erected around them.

Synopsis

Keller, the hard-drinking accountant at the Garlathy works, is embezzling. The director will send him to prison unless he gives him his daughter as his wife. But his daughter, Jolán, loves the young engineer Bánky. The father reveals his hopeless situation to the young man and persuades him to break up with his daughter. Jolán lives in an unhappy marriage with Garlathy. The real reason for Bánky's breakup is revealed when his father dies. At that time, Garlathy wants to send his rival to prison with trumped-up charges, but Jolán's confession saves him.
