Mária, a lonely 55-year-old plastic surgery addict and nail technician, one day finds her former love from her youth, Kálmán, on Tinder. They soon arrange a meeting, but due to Maria's altered face, Kálmán has no idea that he is preparing to go on a date with his former lover. Maria does everything she can to hide her true identity and present herself in the most perfect way to him. She goes to great lengths to make one last intervention before the meeting, but she constantly hits obstacles: the clinics turn her away due to her debts, her friends refuse to lend her money, and she gets caught in a con at an illegal salon. In her ultimate despair, she takes her fate into her own hands, but in doing so, she distorts her appearance to the point of being unrecognizable.
