Synopsis
Fox-Fairies, according to Japanese fairytales, seduced men robbing their souls and lives.
LIZA, the 30-year-old nurse living in Budapest, thinks that she is one of them after five of her dates dies on their first rendezvous.
A month before LIZA makes her poor living by nursing the paralyzed MARIKA, the widow of a Japanese ambassador to Hungary. Marika dies and her relatives accuse Liza of killing the old lady in order to inherit her apartment.
After 12 years of isolation - listening to funny songs of Japanese pop icon TONI TANI from the seventies, daydreaming about a romance with HENRIK that comes to a happy ending at a McDonald’s - Liza finds herself in reality.
HENRIK, the nephew of MARIKA, a celebrity reporter and a womanizer, is not attracted to LIZA. LIZA’s desperate efforts to find love elsewhere fail, since every man attracted to her die on their first dates. In fact, it's TONI TANI, the imaginary friend who is responsible for the deaths, as he wants LIZA for himself.
However these events change LIZA: she gives up her ultimate obedience, and learns how to be attractive as a woman. And she seem to be helped by his strange imaginary friend, the pop singer TONI TANI.
Meanwhile ENSIGN ZOLTAN, an ambitious crime scene investigator, who thinks that LIZA is guilty concerning the dead dates, moves to LIZA’s apartment as a lodger, to keep an eye on her.
During his investigation ENSIGN ZOLTAN falls in love with LIZA. The hands-on policeman secretly fixes all faulty household appliances in the shabby apartment. During the reparations he suffers close-to-lethal injuries. LIZA thinks that those repair-works are done by HENRIK, the celebrity reporter.
HENRIK has nothing to do with the repairs, but he also sees the changes LIZA is going through and finally he is attracted to her. But instead of courting her he uses LIZA and puts both of their lives in danger. After she learns that HENRIK was killed, Liza must face Death in her heavenly McDonald’s during her suicide attempt - and Death turns out to be her imaginary friend, TONI TANI.
She has to drop her newly adapted “Cosmopolitan” self and finally has to discover and accept her true, personal values. Then she can realize who her real mach and potential love is, who finally saves her from the curse of the Fox-Fairies.
