Synopsis
[edit]Gábor and his friend Tibi, who grew up in an orphanage together, are professional con artists who clean offices at night to search for personal information to identify potential victims. With Tibi's support, Gábor uses the information to charm wealthy women into accepting his wedding proposals, gains access to their bank accounts, and abandons them before the ceremony after robbing them. While cleaning a psychologist's office, he finds the file of Hanna, a beautiful dancer injured in a recent car accident. He decides to "take on her case" but ends up falling in love, which complicates his plans.
