Virtually a Virgin
Boróka, the 18-year-old heroine of the film, soon lives off the millions she has received to buy a home with her lover János, who, once they run out of money, trades her love for a Harley Davidson motorbike. Boróka becomes the prisoner of a pimp named Ronaldo. She has a bitter experience in the woods near the highway until she escapes from her captor at the first opportunity. She meets Móric, who takes in the escaped girl. Boróka enrols in an EU manager training course. Her talents soon come to light, successfully selling red umbrellas to a large crowd of her former acquaintances. Ronaldo and his buddy, tracking her down, find Móric, whose arm is broken in a fight. Boróka herself seeks revenge and attacks the pimp (in a female way) in a bodybuilding salon. After clearing the obstacles, she successfully completes the course, Móric recovers and the future may even bring love for the young couple.
