The Lord's Lantern in Budapest

Five different stories are connected by two recurring characters: gravediggers Kapa and Pepe. In one story, the director and screenwriter are characters. Killed by assassins, their ashes are then mixed up by the antic gravediggers. In another, a rich man persuades a poor one not to kill himself, and ends up committing suicide himself, while in a third, characters in a country mansion meditate on Hungarian history, revolution and violence.
