Szorospatak is a smail, desolated village in the North Hungarian Mountains. You can find only three things here: pines, poverty and Antal Szabics. He is a nearly 60 years old local contactor and ex-teacher. He's got an extraordinary hobby: he constantly builds something. He's got tennis courts, pools, stages, an artificial lake, a sauna, an emu farm, a self-made forest, etc. He would like to make festivals, concerts and wellness programs. He is ready to be a host. But there's the snag! No one ever comes to his place. The condition of the buildings are getting worse and worse. As soon as he repairs something, something else becomes bankrupt. Moreover he`s got new ideas as well. He can`t stop working, he says, because that`s what keeps him alive. His family has left him because they are tired of his maniac building operations. The film is about the measureless solitude of a megalomaniac man.
