| Opplysninger | "The dog adopted the Ancsas in the spring of '48": so the story begins. The Ancsas are a middle-aged couple living in the outskirts of Budapest in a ruinous Hungary that is just beginning to wake up from the nightmare of World War II. The new Communist government promises to set things straight, and Mr. Ancsas, an engineer, is as eager to get to work building on the future as he is to forget the past. The las thing he has time for is a little mongrel bitch, pregnant with her first litter. But Niki knows better, and before long she is part of the Ancsas household. The Ancsas even take her along with them when Mr. Ancsa's new job requires a move to an apartment in the city. Then Mr. Ancsa is swept up in a political crack-down - disappearing without a trace. For five years he does not return, five years of absence, silence, fear, and the constant struggle to survive - five years during which Mrs. Ancsa and Niki only have each other. The story of Niki, an ordinary dog, and the Ancsas, a no less ordinary couple, is an extraordinary touching, utterly unsentimenta, parable about caring, kindness, and the endurance of love.
