Másfél millió

Mihai Toth's Másfél millió follows the story of Mihai, a watchman who has dedicated forty years to his job at a timber warehouse. After a fire destroys the warehouse and results in a massive financial loss, Mihai finds himself in a predicament when he unexpectedly wins a lottery of the same amount.

Determined to maintain his integrity, Mihai seeks to deposit his lottery winnings into the state treasury, believing it to be his moral duty. However, the process proves to be more complicated than he anticipated, as he faces bureaucratic hurdles and the unresolved nature of the fire's cause. This situation leads Mihai on a journey through various institutions, highlighting both the absurdity and challenges of his predicament.

With a strong cast featuring Zoltán Makláry, Manyi Kiss, and Ferenc Bessenyei, Másfél millió combines humor with a critique of societal norms, making it a notable entry in the comedy genre of the 1960s.
