Gyuri Koves, dit "Gyurka", est un adolescent de 14 ans. Un jour, près de Budapest, il est arrêté par un policier hongrois. Après une longue attente, il est emmené vers une destination encore inconnue et qu'il a du mal à prononcer : Auschwitz-Birkenau. Gyurka est ensuite transféré de camp en camp. L'enfer commence. Gyurka, très malade, manque de mourir jusqu'à ce que le camp soit finalement libéré par les Américains. Sur le chemin du retour vers Budapest, sa ville natale, toujours vêtu de ses habits rayés de prisonnier, Gyuri éprouve l'indifférence, voire l'hostilité de la population hongroise. Ses anciens voisins et amis le pressent d'oublier les terribles moments qu'il a passés dans les camps, sont gênés dès qu'il évoque son expérience et ses souvenirs du camp. Le jeune garçon est alors livré à lui-même pour comprendre ce qu'il lui est arrivé.

Szomszédok was a Hungarian television series, occasionally called the Hungarian Dallas, that ran from 1987–1999 and produced 331 episodes, airing its grand finale on December 31, 1999. The series was a soap opera, dealing with the lives of ordinary people, living and working in or around an average lakótelep. Its characters were explored, over time, in equal depth: ranging from elderly pensioners, busy middle aged professionals, up-and-coming young people, and children growing into their teens. Many consider Szomszédok to be the definitive Hungarian television series, being a period piece of sorts that covers the last few years of the communist era, the rendszerváltozás, and nearly a decade of the new market economy Hungary thereafter.
