Summaries

Two amateur criminals, Einstein and Shotgun, performs a burglary that goes terribly wrong. Continues into a three-person-hostage situation and media coverage.

Two main characters take center stage: Einstein, an intellectual "know-it-all" with a creamy, naive demeanor and zero practical sense for life, and Shotgun, a brash, vulgar, and insensitive criminal with a no-nonsense attitude. Shotgun takes Einstein under his wing, dragging him into a world of crime by involving him in a burglary. Before their heist, the two fill out a lottery ticket, hoping for a stroke of luck. However, the burglary goes awry. What they thought was an empty house turns out to hold the owner's daughter, Barbie, along with two young drug users named Hippi and Blues. The seasoned burglars swiftly take the three stoned teenagers hostage, but in a moment of carelessness, one of the hippies makes a phone call, and soon, a swarm of television reporters descends on the scene to cover the hostage drama. As Einstein and Shotgun find themselves in a precarious situation, the night takes an unexpected turn when the lottery results are announced live on TV. Einstein's chosen five numbers turn out to be the winning combination, with a staggering prize of one billion three hundred sixty-seven million four hundred fifty-six thousand forints. However, they must claim their winnings by noon the next day.
