Overview
Based on true events, Mayflies is the story of a famous Hungarian assassin from the 1930s – Pipas Pista. It starts with his arrest, and it is revealed that he was born as a woman but lived with a male identity. In prison, while waiting for execution, he forms a relationship with Irma, a pastor’s daughter, who teaches him to read and write.
