The film tells the story of a journalist couple who invite a man and woman into their idyllic village home, but what begins with an informal interview descends into a nightmarish fight for survival.

A typical apartment building in Budapest and their residents from the aspect of a young boy playing football sometime in the end of the 1980s at the time of the change of regime in Eastern Europe. Is there a way out from here? A geometrical paradox and a political parable at the same time.

Once full of dreams, a young couple now scrapes by without decent jobs after graduating from college. One day, after bringing home a ‘lucky tree,’ their lives seem to turn around. But for ordinary citizens, how much is a dream really worth?
