Felkészülés meghatározatlan ideig tartó együttlétre
Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Period of Time
Márta Vizy is a 39-year-old Hungarian neurosurgeon. After 20 years in the United States, she returns to Budapest for a romantic rendezvous at the Liberty Bridge with János a fellow doctor she met at a conference in New Jersey. Márta waits in vain, while the love of her life is nowhere to be seen. When she finally tracks him down, the bewildered man claims the two have never met. It’s unclear whether Márta’s wits are clouded by love or if other neurological factors are at play. For her second feature, writer-director Lili Horvát spins a delicate web of contrasts and silent explosions that shift the viewer’s understanding. (Toronto International Film Festival)
