Quel thé veux-tu ?", marmonne une vieille dame à son mari apathique. Puis, elle monte péniblement sur le toit de leur immeuble, observe les lumières de Budapest dans la nuit et se jette dans le vide. Sauf que, sept étages plus bas, elle se relève comme si de rien n'était. Sa remontée dans les escaliers révèle, étage par étage, les pratiques étranges qui se trament derrières les portes de ses voisins.

Somewhere in a small village in Hungary three public workers dig the same ditch year after year for aid, while they talk about the same day after day. One of them, Béla learns that the TV news showed a former classmate of them, Frike Herner, whose father was the village's policeman when they were children. Béla recalls how at that time a childish conflict between the two of them grew to a great extent. As he remembers more and more details, begins to realize that human destinies repeat themselves from generation to generation and are just as constant as the always-the-same ditch in front of them. Comical and sometimes painfully thought-provoking story through present and past try to find the answers to questions ranging from the individual to the entire world: are we in God's hand, or is God inside us, and can we shape our own destiny? The film is based on the play of the popular Hungarian writer, János Háy.
