CHAMELEON

“The world wants to be tricked!” Gábor – intelligent, attractive, and an unscrupulous swindler – has found a convenient motto for getting through life. His cleaning job is ideal for compiling information about potential victims. Especially the women he proceeds to seduce with all the slimy tricks in his book before making off with their savings. One day, he trains his sights upon Hanna, a millionaire’s daughter who was a prima ballerina until an accident plunged her into a state of permanent crisis. Before closing in for the kill, Gábor plots his masquerade with his customary meticulous attention to detail – only he neglects to take his own feelings into account. This consummately elegant thriller glints with sarcastic humour as it depicts a master of manipulation increasingly ensnared by his own web of lies.
