Carousel operator Andreas Zavoczký, called Liliom, is no doubt a lover boy. A tough guy who has always attracted women, from poor girls to rich ladies. When he finally finds a true love, he loses his work. What come next: crime, guilt, punishment, and a chance...

A sentimental story from the beginning of the 20th century turns into a social look into the life of urban periphery, the place which brings a perpetuating issue of the essence of crime. Liliom is a sentimental but at the same time a tragicomic story from suburbs. The story unveils several intertwined plot lines: social line, relationship line, and psychological line... Moreover, the story brings an unconventional transcendental point. The adaptation by Martin Čičvák raises universal topics of the drama. Liliom is the most famous Molnár’s play. Several TV and film adaptations appeared as well.
