The story of two workers, the end and the beginning. Uncle Pista has been a lathe operator in Csepel for 40 years. He is tired and sickly, but when he has to work, he always gets better. As he retires, they emphasise in a fine speech that they count on him and his experience. He is replaced by another man, relationships are broken. The old man can't find his place. In the small village on the banks of the Tisza, Pista and his sister are raised alone by their mother, and their alcoholic father has not been seen for years. Pista becomes an industrial apprentice in Pest. In their first class they learn to hammer.
