In this unassuming Hungarian film, a man and a woman recognize that their first date is a disaster and decide to keep talking as acquaintances – without the first date tension. They go back to her apartment, and he meets her brother. The three talk, bantering at first and then probing. A previously unknown connection between them surfaces – and it’s a big one. The audience cares about the characters (at least two of them) so much that it’s easy to forgive a highly unlikely coincidence in the plot. It’s a satisfying little movie.
