Aranyélet - Season 1
Season 1
Minden rohad, ami fénylik
The Miklósi family have a life anyone would envy. The father, Attila, is a prosperous entrepreneur; the mother, Janka, does voluntary work at a charity for the homeless. Mira, their daughter, is top of her class and even the rebellious black sheep, Márk, is talented and is planning a career as a rapper.
Their easy living, however, is just an illusion. It conceals some very well-kept secrets – they have a massive bank debt, their luxurious villa actually belongs to a friend in gangland, and they maintain themselves by all kinds of tricks.
When things start getting too much for Attila and he resolves to mend his ways, the family's idyll is shattered. Everyone has different ideas about how they want to get on in life.
Attila would be quite satisfied to work as a labourer but something always frustrates him. In the end, he finds himself caught up in a war between two rival mobsters and is forced to realize that once you're in the underworld, it's hard to get out.
Janka cannot survive without her luxuries and she flees into the arms of another man. At first the wealthy new lover finds life with her exciting, but he soon starts getting fed up with her dark little secrets – not to mention her two maladjusted kids.
Márk takes after his parents and dreams of getting rich without a hitch. This leads him to secretly deputize for his father in the criminal gang. The boy has also inherited his mother's recklessness, though, and when he gets the chance to rip the ganglord off, he doesn't think twice. This proves to be a very bad move – with serious consequences.
Mira distances herself from the dubious principles of the rest of the family and she tries to stand on her own two feet. She comes to see, however, that being honest 24/7 is far from simple. She gets herself into deeper and deeper trouble until she has to admit that she is no different from the others.
The Miklósis must learn a lesson – blood really is thicker than water. But is that enough to hold a family together?
