The girl is good-looking and friendly, but the superficial man takes her for a prostitute. The young, intelligent and witty woman, who only wanted to experience something exciting and unusual, is disappointed by that. When Donát realizes his mistake, it is already too late. Dana leaves with a very cold goodbye and he is left with nothing but bitterness over a wasted opportunity.
