Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Period of Time

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. But when she finds him, the love of her life claims that they have never met before.
Márta Vizy (Natasa Stork) is a Hungarian neurosurgeon who has carved out a respectable career in the US. Yet following a brief encounter with fellow brain specialist and author János Drexler (Viktor Bodó) at a medical conference in New Jersey, her life has been upturned by the realisation that he is "what I've been looking for". Now she's in Budapest, waiting to meet the man she loves. But when János fails to show up for their hastily arranged rendezvous at the Liberty Bridge, Márta seeks him out at his hospital, only to be told that he has no memory of ever meeting her before. Has Márta encountered a doppelganger? Is János just pretending not to know her? Or has she simply imagined their putative relationship, carefully conjuring "every detail so even I believe it happened"?
