A hidden communist cell and two young Jewish girls who risk everything to survive. Imre, the brilliant mathematician-philosopher, a cold manipulator, is not afraid to play with fire. Éva, the naive girl, flees World War II and the gendarmes with her sister Mária in 1944, but they quickly realize that the real danger is Imre and his housekeeper Eszter. Darker secrets come to the surface within the walls of the Oradea mansion. What happens when Imre promises not only protection, but also death? Jealousy, betrayal, escape and self-sacrifice, faith in the Creator and a piece of chocolate. Years later, his dark past catches up with the man in London. In 1975, a young girl, Elizabeth, reveals Imre's crimes, and the lies collapse. The story is unsparing and only one question remains: How does the horrors of war turn a man into a tyrant without hope and love?

This time, Kapa and Pepe are first of all prisoners of war – and convicts taken to forced labor service, Jews, Hungarian soldiers, German soldiers. Once they are to be executed, then again they are to perform executions. The film tells in spectacular episodes about the fact that in the past more than one century and a half we kept marching from war to war; occupation and liberation turned out to be indifferent, and why couldn’t the Jews execute the SS-guys? Our heroes hover about dilapidated barracks, then again on the bridges of the capital they guess whose satellites or eternal friends for all times we might be just now. In the cupboard, among the preserved fruit bottles, Stalin is still hiding. The authors of the film are cited before court, then in a showcase hospital they are waiting for the end to come. A Soviet soldier-maid closes the film with a Péter Nádas-quote.
