action
The 32-year-old theater dramaturge Dora is attractive and popular with men, but she is always disappointed. Their last affair is married and is expecting a child from his wife. Dora is injured and sees her biological clock ticking. For this reason, she does not want to waste any time to finally become a mother and starts looking for a sperm donor . However, a visit to the sperm bank is not productive and the men in question are disappointing. Only the main actor in Dora's theater arouses her interest. She enters into a sexual relationship with Tamás without revealing to him what her real intention is. She always insists that it's all about sex. But Tamás hopes for more and is interested in a stable relationship. However, after learning of Dora's true motives by chance, he is beside himself. He confronts Dora and ends their relationship. The situation is so stressful for both of them that they neglect their work. Dora almost misses the dress rehearsal and Tamás only plays dispassionately and keeps forgetting his lines. He begins to console himself with another woman, but, unlike in the past, doesn't really enjoy it anymore. After a colleague at the theater makes a suicide attempt out of lovesickness and can only be saved by good luck and Dora's quick intervention, both reflect on the value of their love.
criticism
The lexicon of the international film judged: "Entertaining relationship comedy with good-humored actors who sometimes turns clichés upside down."
Top-Videonews rated it similarly positive: “The turbulent relationship comedy about a woman who is afraid of being hurt by men and would like to degrade her to sperm donor is based on American models in narrative and style. You hardly notice that you are in Budapest and not in New York. Overall, the film remains a little pale and interchangeable, but thanks to the likeable actors it is nice popcorn entertainment. "
John Li from moviexclusive.com writes: To be honest, this film doesn’t reveal anything […] what’s going on in women's minds. Sure, they may appear strong and capable on the surface, but underneath, now holding their breath, is the undeniable romantic quest for a soulmate.
