Synopsis
Gábor and his friend Tibi, who grew up in an orphanage together, are now professional con artists who clean offices at night to search for personal information about their next victims. With Tibi's support, Gábor charms wealthy women into accepting his wedding proposals, gains access to their bank accounts, and abandons them before the ceremony takes place, having robbed them in the meantime. While cleaning a psychologist's office, he finds the file of Hanna, a beautiful dancer recently injured in a car accident. He decides to "take on her case" but ends up falling in love instead, which significantly complicates his plans.
