After an argument, Doro, a hairdresser in Budapest, decides to leave the Danube cruise ship. Ildiko, a spirited Hungarian woman whom Doro had already met on the ship, makes her an offer: Because her cousin Réka has broken her leg, Doro is to take her place in the only salon far and wide for three weeks. And so Doro ends up in the middle of the Hungarian province in a small village. There, not only the local wives welcome her with great suspicion. Réka also resists a female substitute who is so young, pretty and talented. As is Doro's way, she really only wants one thing: to leave quickly. But she hasn't reckoned with Ildiko, the melancholy Tamás and the Hungarian villagers, who give her the inexplicable feeling that she has finally arrived at the right place.
