Synopsis


To gain revenge on the lawyer Halmi Tibor who unfairly laid the blame for an incident on her in court, the attractive Éva disguises herself as an uglier version of herself and gains employment in his office. She alternates between her two versions, one of whom he has fallen in love with. Things come to a conclusion on a trip to the Italian resort of Abbazia on the Adriatic.
