Márta, a 40-year-old neurosurgeon, falls in love. She leaves her shining American career behind and returns to Budapest to start a new life with the man. She waits for him in vain at the Liberty Bridge - he does not appear at the rendezvous. Márta starts to search for him desperately, but when she finally finds him, the love of her life claims that they have never met before.

Coming to the Haifa Festival directly from its world premiere at the Toronto Festival, the film sends its strong but vulnerable heroine into that no-man's-land that separates love from madness and presents a delicate and enigmatic romantic drama.

Filmography: The Wednesday Child (2015).
