Magyarszurdok does not receive a penny from the county budget, and there are rumours that the settlement would like to be merged into neighbouring Tatarszeg. In order to save the town, the director of the local museum invents an Arpad-era hero, the heroic hero Bodony. At first the council president is reluctant to cheat, but for the right reasons his wife persuades him to commit fraud. The town begins to develop, and tourism revenues increase. However, this uninterrupted development is fundamentally threatened by the emergence of a pair of conmen who outwit even the inventors of the valiant Bodony.

Adapted from István Csurka's play of the same name. Four men often get together in the evenings to play poker, big money is lost, often without any collateral. During heated arguments, it becomes clear during the break between playing cards that these people once had the opportunity to live differently. They were talented, but now they are neither on the right nor the left, and in their own words, they live in nihilism.

An ambitious theatre director arrives in Gyulaháza from the capital. The aim of the young Debrődy is to shake up the locals and turn the life of the town upside down.
