After the free elections a moderately right-wing government is formed. The nephew of the Prime Minister decides to get rid of the Prime Minister. He persuades his wife to shoot her husband. After the assassination the struggle for the power starts. The number of dead bodies constantly grows, but at the end it turns out that the whole thing was a play which was intended against one man - the nephew.
