Beloved Hungarian actor and cabaret performer Róbert Koltai stars in this comedy as a basically clueless man with an insatiable appetite for women and an inescapable attraction to every get-rich-quick scheme he runs across. In the story, he is a salesman traveling to the countryside with his teenaged nephew on a vacation. He was supposed to supervise a much more respectable journey than the one that results. First, he discovers that there is a racetrack on the way to their destination. Then he decides that his nephew is ready to have his first sexual experience with a woman, and he arranges that. Somewhere he learns of a sure thing to bet on at the track, and before you know it, his nephew has learned more than he ever expected to about the facts of life while traveling with his goofy uncle. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

In a little Hungarian university town, at the turn of the century, there exists a small whorehouse. On an ordinary evening, the typical activities of the house include the girls and their madame taking a trip to the legitimate theater to see a play. Their dress and comportment outside the house are exemplary. Then they return and open for business, turning on the obligatory red light. A poor medical student is one of the house's beloved customers whose lack of cash is not an obstacle. One night during a rainstorm, he is encouraged to stay in the house's spare room. In fact, in order to save money from the allowance his mother spares him, they offer him the room as his residence while he continues his studies. When word comes that his mother is visiting, the women decree that she must suspect that nothing is amiss: the house is miraculously transformed into a respectable boarding house. However, it would be best for everyone if the boy's mother could be back on the train and out of town before their regular working hours begin. The student is off for a night on the town, and is unaware of all this. Troubles are compounded when he returns with a drunken crew of town officials looking for their usual entertainment. With the "cat" out of the bag, everyone looks to the mother to see her reaction. Fortunately, she proves not only imperturbable, but warm-hearted. This gentle comedy is based on the short story by Sandor Huyady, "The House With The Red Light." ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
