A bathtub sits in the middle of an abandoned workshop on the outskirts of an Eastern European town. This is where Felhőcske – who is working out a guaranteed winning systemon the computer of the meteorological institute – spends his time dreaming. All around, theyare demolishing the wasted factory quarter. On the last night, they charge through the blackmarket and underground tunnels of the city destined for annihilation. However, the hairdryer dropped into the bath does away with Felhőcske, while his friends Berlioz and Verő take advantage of the system to win a pile of money on a horse race. Following the death of Felhőcske, Berlioz ventures into the big, wide world while Verő wants to end it all… This strange apocalyptic vision of postmodern cinema is tensioned with music by Tibor Szemző and János Másik.
