SNACK BAR BUDAPEST
by Tinto Brass
synopsis
A lawyer is working as a debt collector for his partner Sapo. Escorting prostitute Milena, impregnated by Sapo, to an unnamed sea resort of grotesquerie, he encounters the ambitious young ringleader Molecola who has bought several old recreational sites in the environs to turn the town into an "Italian Las Vegas" but the hotel-bar named Snack Bar Budapest, run by a man and his family, remains an obstacle. Molecola needs a lawyer to legitimize forceful evacuation of Snack Bar Budapest and the lawyer agrees.
