Adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's novel, about the simple life of a con man who fakes whatever he can and who occasionally acts out suffocation attacks in restaurants, parasitizing the "saviors" who support him with money. In addition, the main character is a sexaholic, and his stupid mother hides the truth about his birth. Read more Poor student Victor Mancini, expelled from the medical institute, came up with a beautiful scam to pay for the treatment of his sick mother in a private hospital. He fakes a choking attack in a restaurant, and the strangers who "save his life" begin to feel responsible for the boy. Mancini pulls this stunt many times and makes a large stream of cash out of the kindness of strangers. Between bouts of suffocation, Victor works with a group of losers and drunkards stuck in 1734, meets with groups of sex addicts, and visits his mentally ill mother in a psychiatric hospital. When Victor learns that his mother's Alzheimer's disease hides a shocking truth about his origins, his carefully constructed life of "sex without love" crumbles, and he falls in love with his mother's mysterious doctor.
