A Molitor-ház: Detektivregény

In the spring of 1918 Budapest, the Molitor household gathers around a billiard table, where Árpád Molitor lectures his relatives on recent military reports while a cryptic game between the unseen Antal and Olivier unfolds. The conversation drifts between the lingering war, the family’s dwindling fortunes, and Árpád’s feverish vision of reviving the Molitor name. A tense mixture of pride and frustration hangs in the air, hinting that more than a simple match is at stake.

Árpád’s younger brother, the recently returned soldier Géza, bears the physical and emotional scars of front‑line service, yet his silence reveals a deeper disappointment: the coveted Maria Theresa Order remains out of reach. Around them sit Ágnes, a fresh‑minded doctor; her weary mother; the introspective teen Marianne; and Zoltán, the only relative who truly resembles Árpád. Their interactions are marked by polite distance, but each glances toward the same unresolved questions about honor, duty, and the family’s future.

When a sudden, unexplained explosion rattles the house, the Molitors are forced to confront the fragile veneer of their unity. As rumors swirl and old grievances surface, listeners are invited to piece together the hidden motives and secrets that could either bind the family together or tear it apart.
