Storyline

Kata, in her 20s, loses her boyfriend and her job on the same day. She's been indulging in fantasies of a more thrilling romantic life, and the cold water of being alone and unemployed doesn't entirely dampen her imagination. She's egged on by three girlfriends who get together to talk about men and sex. Kata has possibilities: she meets David, a medical student; there's Tamás, a stranger on a train who might be good for a relationship and a job. There's also Miki, her brother who's had serious drug problems. Is fulfillment within her grasp?

User Reviews

major disappointment

Haven't read the book but...

...if it sucks as bad as the film than not doing so was pretty damn clever on my part.

OK, the leading actress is drop-dead gorgeous.

And most of her dates are pretty handsome too.

Though I must say none as handsome as Csanyi Sandor.

It's a pity that it is quite impossible to sympathize with the whining girl for more than, say, 3 and a half seconds.

Plus, you know about 5 minutes ahead when a joke is coming up.

Not terribly terribly bad, but don't go if you have anything better to do.
