Synopsis:
”Yet those who are not kin, they have to live too”
It is a centuries-old tradition in Hungary that people don’t vote for, but rather against someone.
Instead of the corrupt Makróczy, István Kopjáss becomes the attorney general of Zsarátnok. Kopjáss is a clean character. His pockets are empty, but his head is full of beautiful, world-redeeming dreams.
The inhabitants of the city are happy because they have a non-corrupt member of the local government as a mayor, but some of them see him as a marionette. He is guided by ideals and a strong sense of ethics, but he will soon realize how deep the corruption is in everyday life when he conflicts the local factory and his relatives who suddenly start asking him for favors.
