Sinopsis

For many years, the Vajkays have been desperately hoping that their unfortunate, ugly daughter will finally find her mate and happiness. Even now, they send Pacsirta away for a few days to visit relatives and introduce her to the widowed father of three. The lonely couple reunite with their old friends. They go to the theatre, which they haven't been to for years because Pacsirta can't stand the smell of theatre. After the performance, Vajkay is invited to the casino by his former table mate. The old man, who has given up everything years ago, now spends the night having fun, and at dawn, in a moment of bitter sobering up, he and his wife face for the first time their ruined lives, their lost happiness sacrificed for their daughter.
