She's hoping to make big money in Zurich. That for, Viktoria leaves her home in Budapest. Every night she finds herself standing  in the pale light of street lamps waiting for customers, which she satisfies in their cars on dark parking lots. She fights her disgust by

thinking about what she's going to do with all the money back home. Despite her unpleasant situation within a world of violence  and easy sex, she's also able to find love and friendship - and herself.
