When Hungary's newest prime minister is shot and killed at a reception, the resulting investigation is necessarily swift and comprehensive. This compelling political thriller uncovers two prime suspects: the woman who guns the leader down, and a man who was friends with both the prime minister and his murderer.

Янчо в этом фильме дает крайне пессимистический прогноз относительно актуальных событий современности. Одной из сюжетных линий картины становится просмотр телевизионных новостей из Москвы, свидетельствующих о политическом хаосе. В стране произошел политический переворот, власть оказывается в руках некоего Комитета спасения, Михаил Горбачев арестован и казнен. Вскоре в Венгрию вновь входят советские танки и всех убивают.

Jancso emphasizes highly evocative and ambiguous imagery over dialog or exposition. Here he seems primarily interested in showing the painful, stunted lives of Hungary's intellectuals, who are shown as remaining silent and ineffectual during various political crises. There are several action sequences involving chases and shootouts, but since there's no clear narrative we're not sure how they relate to each other or to anything else. The film is, however, visually fascinating, with shots of police cars, horses, and naked bodies juxtaposed and extensive use of multiple video imagery.
