student of whom he is insanely possessive of. Obsession and suspicion induce Luca to hire private
detective Denis to keep tabs on Klára to find proof of adultery. Denis is attractive, slightly ironic and cynical,

secret of her adventures with other men.  Denis, on the other hand, is having a love affair with a colleague
from the detective agency, Nina, a divorced mother of two. Although the disconsolate Luca gradually gains
Denis’ sympathy, the detective starts to yield to Klára’s charms and to abandon his own principles, which
can have tragic consequences. The sleuthing will take the main protagonists to the magical city of Venice,
culminating in an unexpected finale that confirming that not everything or everyone is what or who they
seem to be.
