1956. Bébé is a painter, but he has not worked for years. The news arriving form Paris about the death of his childhood friend, Halász Petár affects him deeply, but his reflections are continually disturbed by telephone calls: the Alliance for Fine Arts wants to purchase one of the popular self-portraits of Halász. Bébé searches for one of his own paintings entitled Roofs at dawn, which /maybe/ depicts the true Halász with Aliz and Lili. He is threatened by exclusion from the alliance for this, even two men appear in hats in his flat. At dawn news arrives: Halász is alive, he left the country with Lili and his paintings. Antibes. Halász is standing on the roof of a house scrapping off the "socialist-realist" layer smeared on by him from Degas and Modigliani paintings. (official distributor synopsis)
