Synopsis

1925 saw a terrible scandal shake the city of Budapest. Ferenc Kudelka was slaughtered in his own abattoir, cut up, bundled into suitcases and carried through the city streets to be eventually dumped in the Danube. This gruesome crime is committed by a former gendarme by the name of Gusztáv Léderer and his ex-prostitute wife Mária, in cold blood but in an atrociously amateur fashion. Kudelka the butcher falls passionately in love with the wife of the former gendarme, with the full knowledge and assistance of her husband: he is able to spend hours of pleasure with the man’s wife in return for a small money. Driven by greed, the Léderer couple – after two failed attempts – eventually succeed in killing Ferenc Kudelka.
