The title relates to the girl in the story who read a wanted poster saying that she and her boyfriend are their country's version of Bonnie and Clyde. The country is Hungary and the story is based on actual events. The robbers did not plan their lives to be such a memorable event but their first meeting lead to their infamous reputation. The director uses scenes of the present in which both have been imprisoned in between showing their journey escaping from the law and enjoying the loot. The two who have been thrown into their predicament without any prior proper plans try their best to make the best of what they have. Their loyalty and love for each other were tested umpteen times throughout their travels together. Love conquers again? Perhaps.
