On the 60th birthday of teacher Kovács, in his country house, there is a reunion of his one-time pupils, now all celebrated men in their forties with domestic and foreign careers. The last one to arrive is professor Kamondi. His egalitarian principles conflict with those of the elitist Bardócz, and the company breaks up into parties. Showmen arrive, frightening and weird things happen. As night draws near, the party turns more and more into a mystery-play. And the omnipresent TV-screens make events appear from a different perspective. An allegation is made: Kamondi murdered the showmen and sank their corpses in his car into the lake. Colonel Antal and the lorry with the crane lift nothing else but a wreckage of the last world war out of the lake. The dead come to life again. In the end, everybody leaves the scene in the fog, accompanied by the tunes of the music played by the saxophone. (official distributor synopsis)
