Karcsi, a Roma policeman, lives with Eva, a Swede. One day he is called to the scene of the murder of a wealthy trafficker named Schulter. He begins to investigate the crime, interrogate neighbours and suspects, and untangle a complex situation - one that he, himself, complicates even further. For he is a gypsy, who despite being adopted and raised by "regular" Hungarians, has his nose rubbed in his minority status every day. The film, which is based on the novel by Ákos Kertész, is a shrewd genre work full of dusky humour and surreal situations. Tabló follows a vivid succession of strange images that eventually lead to the emergence of the central story about a charismatic police officer on a tireless quest for the truth, though he must fight against virtually everyone and is just as fallible as the next person. Tabló makes a statement on the issue of race and racism - or, indeed, relations between any minority and majority.

Berlín, 1942. Bruno tiene ocho años y desconoce el significado de la Solución Final y del Holocausto. No es consciente de las pavorosas crueldades que su país, en plena guerra mundial, está infligiendo a los pueblos de Europa. Todo lo que sabe es que su padre -recién nombrado comandante de un campo de concentración- ha ascendido en el escalafón, y que ha pasado de vivir en una confortable casa de Berlín a una zona aislada. Todo cambia cuando conoce a Shamuel, un niño judío que vive una extraña existencia paralela al otro lado de la alambrada.
