Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
This Austrian comedy, with an Austrian and Czech cast, looks at international business in East Europe. Eva is a hotel bar dancer. When the eighty-something Japanese businessman Harada asks her to marry him and front a business deal that would allow him to buy property in Prague, Eva readily agrees. Though the elderly Harada has an exuberant sex drive, his body cannot stand the strain and he dies. Eva is left unwed and broke. She then tries to con Christian, a hunky Austrian, into marrying her. Christian has come to Prague to buy the same property. His lover/business partner is Liane. When he returns to Vienna, Eva follows him and becomes involved in a threesome. A bidding war ensues after Harada's partners show up with Eva's poor ex-husband.
