Synopsis:

The story is set in a small provincial town and it follows the tribulations of Andras Szabo, a young violin player and heavy drinker that has no control of his own life; he has been kicked out of most of the jobs he has held. The film opens with Andras working as a nurse in a mental hospital, from where he is later discharged because he is found drunk with a patient. The film revolves around Andreas’ marriage to his wife. She is after security; a regular life. Andreas, however, is unable to provide that certainty and stability.
