The crew of Tibi Balogh sets out on a journey across Hungary to get the ancient Gold Owl statue, as well as the Milk Man. The treasure is worth millions, who gets there first?

Waiters’ competition at Heroes’ Square in the late thirties. Dressed as waiters, Kapa and Pepe awake in the bronze chariot of the millennial sculpture group. They drive along the Danube promenade, and on the concrete reinforcement of the demolished Budapest rondella hotel they get involved in a showdown of political background. In the burnt-down Sports Hall the waiters train for a last supper, Pepe and Kapa run around the big laid table with trays in their hands. While doing so, Pepe keeps crying out: "I am the best one, I am the most beautiful one, I am the king, I am the god..." Sitting in a boat on the Danube, a ship goes past them, and the Niagara falls, majestic and breathtaking, resound in their ears. On each passing away something new will come to life – as rapped by Sub Bass Monster.

A single gunshot and a pointed toothpick drive Lali to abandon his life and disappear, only to find himself stranding Feri, a high-profile Budapest lawyer, at the Üvegtigris snack bar while Lali hops into Feri’s Bentley convertible. As the pair roar through the city, Lali’s sudden swagger attracts a dazzling woman - and then another - launching him on an outrageous day of living large. What began as an impulsive escape becomes Lali’s wildest adventure yet, filled with fast cars, femme fatales and the thrill of starting over.
