The V (fau) effect takes us to the Contemporary Theater where preparations are underway for the long-awaited premiere of the play The Case of Bertoldo B. All the important dignitaries, journalists and critics, as well as the Minister of Culture, whose son Vladan plays the main role, arrive at the premiere. The play is performed successfully and thunderous applause breaks through the hall, and then there is silence. Vladan, the main actor is dead. Murder or suicide? Many in the theater are scared. Many had reason to kill him.
