Synopsis

"Ferenc is painting the furniture before his wedding and he also manages to get paint on himself and his bride-to-be. When he has completed the job, he wants to hang the paintings on the wall but, in doing so, he bangs so hard that he makes a hole straight through to his neighbour's flat. In return she blows soot into his face. These capers make them late for the wedding and Ferenc with his bride run down the street to the registry office drawing the attention of passers-by." (According to the censor's certificate.)
