A series of satirical salon sketches portrays a bourgeois family and their social circle in contemporary Budapest, using short scenes and pointed characterization to reveal manners, pretensions, and rivalries. Each vignette focuses on different household members and frequent guests, exposing romantic entanglements, artistic affectations, and the games of reputation and ambition that animate their gatherings. Dialogue-driven interactions and comic portraits critique cultural snobbery, critical hypocrisy, and the shallow performance of taste, while episodic structure shifts between intimacy and public display to illuminate shifting loyalties and social posturing without a single continuous plot.
