Csilla deserves better. Her boyfriend Bandi loves her, but in his frequent bouts of drunknessness,
he reverts to boorish
and thoughtless behaviour (imagine a touchingly hapless Hungarian
version of Marge and Homer Simpson). The brief
flashes of glamour in her life – modeling at
an arty fashion show, pouring over brochures for exotic holiday locations –
serve only to highlight
the limitations of her day-to-day grind. Inspired by Antoine Watteau‘s dreamy 18th century
painting ‚L‘Embarquement pour Cythere‘, this intelligent and sensitively drawn character study
will grip the heart and rivet attention.
