Bálint, the theatre's award-winning chief director, thinks that he will be the successor of the resigning manager. However, the owner of the theater, Szalai, is asking Imre Hamar, an older man from a completely different field with no theatrical experience, to be the manager. Bálint is about to prepare a large-scale Romeo and Juliet performance with his actors, when Imre interrupts the rehearsal to introduce himself and outline the new situation… New leader, completely different leadership principles. Can a private theater on the brink of bankruptcy be saved?
A film of improvisations - not only from the part of the nine amateur actors, but from the D.O.P, the director and the scriptwriters as well. The story unfolded itself instantly by the reactions and ideas of actors during the 20 days of shooting and developed into what is presented to the audience. But the story perhaps is less important than the world which opens up in front of us, a taste of Budapest in January 2008. Written by György Pálfi
