An original fictional documentary which follows a pair of Hungarians on a journey across Europe all the way to Egypt. Lali, a moustached gypsy, and a bald guy named Lori come from Transylvania and are friends to the end. Financial hardships prompt them to try out all opportunities offered by European globalization that have taken place in the past few years.Though the failures of the charismatic duo have been many and their successes short-lived, their friendship manages to overcome all obstacles. Encouraged by the director to play themselves, the actors deal with problems in their own, usually very peculiar way. Hovering on the border between documentary and fiction, the film always maintains its creative energy and pure spontaneity.
