A Modern Courtesan.
Eastern Europe… Unemployment, poverty, chaos… A young woman with a PhD finds herself on the streets. She can beg, she can die from hunger, or she can start writing letters. Using the Internet and numerous dating sites she is looking for a man to marry. She dreams about a happy family life. But the men she meets are looking only for sex, sightseeing and visas. Embittered and disappointed, she becomes a woman who lives off men. Not a woman who sleeps with men for money but a professional fiancée. Funny, quick-witted, sensitive and plucky, she cleans men’s pockets and goes through life light-heartedly. From a badly dressed, poor postgraduate she metamorphosed into a designer-clad, well-travelled woman. At last she achieves her heart’s desire and marries a rich man. But will she be able to retire from her “career” and settle down or will the temptation of yet another man’s attention, money and gifts prove to be too strong?
