Following Juli's conflicted adolescence in Diary for My Children, in this second volume of Márta Mészáros' "diaries", the protagonist is now a young adult who leaves her aunt's home to study cinema in Moscow (which happened with the director, who left Hungary to study cinema at the famous Soviet school, VIGK). And like Mészáros, Juli also returns to her country of origin to film, later becoming involved in the popular revolution of 1956. A film where the history of a country merges - without judgment - with the personal stories of those who dared to resist.

Diary for My Loves won the Silver Bear at the 1987 Berlin Film festival. A new digital restoration of the film will be screened, in 2K.
