Pólika, tired of her husband Balázs Nyiri’s partying, moves in with her aunt. Nyiri, desperate to win her back, tries everything but fails. Aunt Zsani seeks help from her brother, Uncle Lajos. They sing Pólika’s songs at a pub, joined by the household. Aunt Zsani’s housekeeper, Pepi, serves them food, while servants share news of the Nyiri farm’s sale. Frustrated by the scandals, Pólika tells Nyiri to run away with her if he wants.
