One day, they realize that their spouses are actually each other’s lovers. The discovery shocks them both. Chow is keeping a secret that was originally meant to be sweet revenge, but ended quite differently.

Location

Bem Cinema

In January 2016, the 108-year-old Bem Cinema will reopen its doors to the public, in a new way never seen before in Hungary: as a cinema of cult and classic films (no harm!), or as the educated French say (if you know your English): as a "repertory cinema".
