She enjoys going to dancing school, though she usually sits by herself unasked to dance. In secret she romanticizes for Attila, a self-confident, good looking young man who also is a great dancer. The only one who shows interest in Flora and where she might have a change is the inconspicuous Jacob. Out of frustration and by not having „a better chance” Flora eventually makes friends with the young man. Coming home late one day, Flora’s parents draw a wrong conclusion and call her a hooker. Flora packs her stuff and moves in with Jacob. Shortly after this she meets Attila in a discotheque. Finally Attila devotes some attention to her. She lets Attila seduce her. Her illusions get destroyed suddenly when she finds out that Attila is married. Selection of FESTIVALS 50. Int.
