t is the 50th birthday party of the older man in white jacket and glasses leading the humiliation. He seems to be a local rural gangster/thug. The younger distressed man in glasses, who picks up the knife, is his son. The girl is the son's fiancée. As some kind of power game/test/initiation/permission to marry/get money from the father, the girl is required to strip, with a bid for each item of clothing. The next scene shows the son killing himself by deliberately running into a railway tunnel into the path of a train. According to some translated reviews the girl also kills herself later. This is the first of a series of flashbacks, we see more of this party at 19m with two topless women bringing in a birthday cake.

Our hero is Zoltán Simon who returns to Hungary from the US to attend the funeral of his father, a private investigator, and take over the business. He has to take custody of his 12 year old son who becomes his sidekick in this and future episodes/investigations. Zoltán Simon finds a mysterious message on his father's phone recorder which indicates the father was killed because of one of his investigations. The murder suspect is the older man in white forcing the strip.
