Iszony

Nelli, the icy, introverted farm girl, needs to find a husband following her father's death. She accepts the attentions of the noisy Takaró Sanyi, although she is more attracted to his silent and modest younger brother. The birth of a child does not resolve the antagonism between the two people with entirely different characters, and Sanyi's love is more and more restricted to the body. He becomes indebted while trying to show off their wealth, while Nelli is more and more exhausted by constant acting. Grasping the opportunity offered by an unexpected incident, she throttles her bed-ridden husband. The young doctor asks for love in exchange for his silence, but Nelli refuses him. She wants to live her own life. (Verleiher-Text)
