About this episode

The episode explores the desperate circumstances of women in early 20th century Hungary dealing with PTSD-riddled husbands and the mysterious Auntie Suzy.

In a small town in early 20th century Hungary, the women are desperate. Their husbands are PTSD-riddled WW1 vets. They have no money to feed their children.
