Why watch this film?

Hungarian delicate and provocative drama, 'Felkészülés meghatározatlan ideig tartó együttlétre' begins with an out-of-the-box idea: a brilliant neurosurgeon leaves her career in America to return to Budapest in the intention of reuniting with the love of her life. Only that, contrary to expectation, this man says they never even met. From there, with a gala performance by Natasa Stork ('White God'), filmmaker Lili Horvát brings a slow and contemplative plot that, although it distances a part of the audience due to its very characteristic rhythm, hits the mark in the way of treating love, memory and behavior, with challenging and yet inspiring characters.
