Crown of Thorns. The story of a husband and wife in the traditional Hungarian village of Szék in Transylvania, Romania. At some point (presumably sometime after 1990) the wife, Amál decides to seek work cleaning houses and/or caring for the elderly in Budapest, as many women from Szék have done and do. Her husband remains at home in Szék. She’ll return home to Szék every few weeks. Amál finds that rural village life and habits of the average Szék family are different in many ways from the life and household habits of the Budapest city people she begins to work for. To be continued... By Széki Soós János.
