Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Dr. Ádám Koltay flees the city. Although he is the darling of society, he has grown weary of the emptiness of social life. He tents in the pure, unspoilt world of the snow-covered mountains, but on his first day, an unexpected event occurs: he must save the life of a young girl who has fallen off a cliff. In gratitude, she offers him an invitation to join the hustle and bustle of a nearby noisy resort, but Adam steals a kiss from her instead. Eve vows revenge, ready to do anything to disturb his peace.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
