Rhapsody in Tokaj

Baracskay Miklós lives an idler's life, thus his elder brother, Ádám, withdraws his support and calls on him to take over the management of the family wine shop. Miklós and his friends hold a farewell party, and rowing while drunk, they cause an accident. Miklós saves a lady rower of the other boat, but is rewarded by a smack. To his surprise, the next day he finds the girl in the shop. Demeter Éva has taken on a job as a shop-assistant, as their family estate had been lost. Miklós makes a new attempt, but is met with a smack again. Soon, however, they make peace, and even fall in love. Baracskay Ádám refuses the idea of his brother marrying a shop-assistant. The fact that Ádám plans to hire a new housekeeper for the manor-house comes in handy. Miklós arranges for Éva to enter the position. Éva works hard and well, and even Ádám's interest is aroused in her. The two brothers start competing for her love. In the end, Ádám renounces his claim upon her, and asks for her hand in marriage on his brother's behalf. (texte officiel du distributeur)
