The New Relative

1934 · 88 min

A gentle, talky old-fashioned comedy of manners, pleasant and unhurried, with mild charm rather than big laughs.

Overview
The story takes place in a small village manor-house off Vásárosladány. Sándor leads a quiet life with his wife, son and the now poor relatives of his wife, one which is characterized by the monotony of rural boredom. The arrival of another poor relative, Kitty, a young girl brought up in America, whose way of thinking reflects modern times, puts an end to this overwhelming monotony.
