Short and dull

This was a fairly short movie, yet it didn't take that long for me to get bored while watching it. I was mildly interested in learning of some of the changes taking place in post-Cold War Hungary, but the main story was thoroughly uninteresting. I just never cared about these characters and their relationships with one another. In fact, the most interesting part of this film is trying to understand the casting. They used Dutch actress Johanna ter Steege to play the lead role, then they dubbed over her voice with that of a Hungarian actress...
