- There is a rickety old house and the necessary outbuildings at the end of the village, on a small farm by the stream. Mrs. Petho grew old here. She lost her husband a long time ago, fate sent her three children far from their parents' house, they come home less and less often. The old woman sensed the change, but she didn't want to give in. Gyula Fekete's lyrical, somewhat emotional, but deeply human and contemporary TV play was scheduled as the third part of the series called 'Today's stories'. It's a forty minutes of rigorous introspection, asking ourselves the uncomfortably honest question: are we so cruel and indifferent to the elderly, to our parents? Yes, no. It is not just a distance between the generations and age groups. Actually, everyone's mother is a bit like a widow Mrs. Peto, a kind, old potter, with her wondering and eternally tireless soul and incorrigible. And we ourselves are like Mrs. Peto's children; they are a bit harsh, practical and maybe even a bit irresponsible. There are no bad people in it. "The" Grandma, as brought to life by Hilda Gobbi with her heart and talent, is like the love that rushes around us: kindness itself, which is animated by the warmth of giving and care. His children are not the usual textbooks either cold-headed, selfish youths. These grown-up children love their mother in the most natural way in the world: they live their own lives, sometimes they visit her, they secretly put some money under her Prayerbook, they nail the wrong bench in the yard, they raise the jug and send canned goods in return for the "compatriots".
