1945. Doctor Hajnal is unwilling to discuss politics. He stays when the Germans evacuate Székesfehérvár and he stays likewise when the Soviets retreat from the German counter-attack. He gives shelter to Alba who pretends to be a Transylvanian refugee. Following a visit by German officers, the girl reveals to the doctor that she is not a refugee but a Soviet intelligence agent. It is in this tension that Hajnal confesses her his love. A German officer suspects the girl and wants to arrest her. The returning doctor shoots him dead while struggling with him. The Gestapo takes him to an interrogation right from hospital. The man, taking advantage of the confusion caused by a Soviet attack, escapes on the way. Back home, Alba's message awaits him: "I shall return to you". The story is recounted by doctor Hajnal when he already knows that the girl died during the siege of Berlin.
