Summary
Amidst the decaying grandeur of pre-war Budapest, Lu (Berta Valero), a courtesan of paradoxical dignity, navigates a treacherous ecosystem where aristocracy and underworld collide. Her delicate alliance with conflicted playwright István (Miklós Poór) unravels when industrialist Baron Kovács (Ernõ Tarnay) demands exclusive patronage. The ensuing power struggle escalates through blackmail, betrayal, and ultimately murder at a masquerade ball, exposing the putrid hypocrisy of a society that simultaneously exploits and condemns its fallen women. Lu's final act of razor-blade vengeance becomes a silent scream against systemic corruption.
