An artist of manipulation, with a generous dose of humor and the ability to assume different personalities, Gábor begins to work in a psychologist's practice, where he learns of Hanna, a 30 year-old dancer who was hurt in a car accident and the daughter of a millionaire. The ideal victim if love doesn't get in the way.

- István Balogh, a not very affluent Hungarian farmer, lords over his wife, children and his "hired" slave. Cut off from the rest of the world on a distant farm in the Great Plains, he tries to uphold a family ideal he formulated from rigid traditions.

The film was inspired by articles, news programs, and the recollections of individuals who lived through similar situations.

- A stranger comes to town in this adaptation Rainer Maria Rilke short story, and gets a job as a gravedigger - and the adoration of the local bigwig's daughter. She spends entire days with him in the cemetery garden, talking about death and dying. A plague befalls the town, sparing only a few, leaving them the task of pushing coffin-laden wagons to the cemetery. The film uses the same camera that records horse racing photo finishes; it does not provide the feeling of space like an ordinary film or photographic camera. Gravedigger lacks the illusion of movement typical of most films. Photographed images track from left to right across the screen. Deformed and fuzzy, as if shot by a trembling hand, the images look like blurred film frames, moving too slowly to create the impression of movement, sometimes forming surreal or abstract compositions. The director takes the audience to pre-Lumière cinema to experience motion picture construction (panoramas) and narration.
- The "madhouse" in Intapuszta was a legendary institution in the 1960's and 1970's. Tolerated artists and anti-state aristocrats lived here mixed with ordinary patients. Intapuszta was the first "fenceless" work-therapy institution in Hungary. The contradiction of the era is that the creation of the Golden Cage (named by the founder, Benedek István psychiatrist) was permitted in the spring of 1952, at the height of the Rákosi terrorist regime. Intapuszta fully bloomed in the 1960's when Dénes Goldschmidt became the director of the institute. The reform psychiatrist made a special shelter for people who cannot adapt to the "normal world" for some reason. Goldschmidt accepts a baron family whether as a worker or as a patient, also accepts a mother who is unable to keep her child, or an alcoholic or depressed artist who slowly gets back onto his feet here. It also keeps the politically prohibited psychoanalytic traditions in a specific form. As part of the work therapy the patients themselves are copying the Rorschach and Szondi tests, so the psychologists of the era can get ahold of them. They hold theater performances, organize their own radio show, edit literary anthologies, organize sport competitions. Frequent visitors in 'this little circle of freedom' are such magnitudes of the Kadar era as for example Sándor Weöres, László Kamondy, György Petri or Zoltán Huszárik. However, archival research has recently revealed that Intapuszta was in fact maintained by internal affairs and bureaus. And the reports are tied to one single person: Goldschmidt. The fact that the respected Goldschmidt was a III/III agent under the name "Hegyi" deeply shook the psychiatric society. Its need to be explained and reinterpreted.
