Gyorgy Molnar creates a vivid portrait of Central European village life in this broadly-rendered comedy. Ever since the family patriarch landed in the hospital, the Balogh clan has been loafing about. The mother is looking for extra-marital love with one and all, and her two teenaged daughters are equally hot to trot. The family's eldest son is a cow-herding space cadet. The clan is gamely doing their own thing until Pops returns from the hospital -- where everyone expected him to die. Soon the father is spreading mayhem with his bizarre, often drunken ways.
