With a Russian military truck left behind, Béla Ivándzsó, an enterpreneur and his men take the television set to the home of the lucky winner in a little village in the middle of nowhere. The television set, as discovered, is uncontrollable and indestructable. The characters of this road movie with peculiar sense of humour bowl along the visual world of present-day Hungary.
