Preparations to be Together for an Unknown Period of Time

At a medical conference in New Jersey, renowned neurosurgeon Márta has a profound connection with fellow doctor János. This brief but remarkable encounter leads her to believe he is her soulmate, igniting her passion and resolve to see him again.

Convinced by her feelings for János, Márta arranges a second meeting at the iconic Liberty Bridge in Budapest a month later. She dreams of a future together, filled with hope and excitement as she envisions their romantic reunion.

Márta makes the bold decision to abandon her job in America and returns to her home country, Hungary. She is filled with anticipation for her meeting with János, believing that their connection will lead to something profound.

At the Liberty Bridge, Márta waits eagerly for János, but her heart sinks when he fails to show up. This disappointment leads her to feel lost and rejected, questioning the authenticity of their connection.

Overwhelmed by confusion and longing, Márta confronts János at Budapest Medical University. To her shock, he denies ever meeting her, leaving her shattered and questioning her memories of their encounter.

Determined to stay in Budapest despite her emotional turmoil, Márta secures a modest apartment and takes a position at the same hospital as János. However, her colleagues quickly criticize her unconventional methods, leading to professional challenges.

As Márta settles into her new life, her fixation on János grows immensely. She begins watching every video of him available online and even follows him during his off-hours, driven by her deepening obsession.

Amidst her turmoil, Márta starts attending therapy sessions to gain insight into her emotional state. These sessions provide a space for her to explore the intensity of her feelings for János and the implications of her actions.

During a routine surgical procedure, Márta becomes frustrated with a fellow surgeon and insists that János take over the operation. This pivotal moment leads to their official introduction, sparking a new chapter in their complicated relationship.

That evening, Márta is thrilled to receive an invitation to János's book release event. She eagerly returns home with a copy of his book, feeling a mix of excitement and intimacy as she connects with his written words.

A young man, grateful for Márta's help with his father's treatment, invites her to dinner as a gesture of thanks. Despite the offer, she declines his entry into her apartment, signaling her emotional unavailability.

Later, János reaches out to Márta, and they go shopping together. During this outing, he offers to buy her a loudspeaker, which leads to an intimate encounter at her apartment, deepening their connection.

After a night of intimacy, János mysteriously vanishes the next morning, leaving Márta confused and worried. This sudden absence continues to affect Márta's emotional stability and her quest for answers.

Márta's friend and former colleague, Helen, visits her in Budapest, encouraging her to reach out to János. During the visit, Helen discovers János's jacket and phone at Márta’s apartment, raising questions about their relationship.

Intrigued by his jacket and phone, Márta secretly follows János home but retreats when a young woman claiming to be his daughter confronts her. This encounter adds layers of complication and emotional turmoil to Márta's feelings for János.
