Isztambul

Housewife Katalin Munk has her world torn apart when her lecturer husband János arrives home to tell her that he’s leaving her for a younger student of his. Katalin falls into a state of shock and wanders about the streets of Budapest in just her dressing gown carrying a pair of scissors. After a series of misadventures, Katalin eventually ends up in Turkey, where suddenly Katalin is awakened and decides to start a new life after meeting local man Halil. Meanwhile her son Zoli tries to hunt Katalin down.
