Szamba Ottó is the spirit and motor of the cultural and sports life in the village of Tiszabottyán. He is first of all the organiser, the director and the actor of the local theatrical company. He is the everlasting survivor. His son, Little Ottó, is terribly depressed by his fathers personality. He goes to Budapest, and changing his name to Tibor, gets accepted to the Academy of Dramatic and Cinematic Art there. After his graduation, he is contracted by the theatre of a small town in the country-side. He learns that his father has been imprisoned because of his efforts to promote culture (or more precisely, misappropriation of funds). When Little Ottó visits him in prison, he is in the process of rehearsing with the theatrical company he organised there. Little Ottó and his father suffer a car-crash. Little Otto dies, and his father remembers him enwrapped in plaster bandage from top to toe. (official distributor synopsis)
