Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and people who need a good giggle. Made for a blanket and a quiet evening. Same wavelength as The Seven Year Itch.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 32 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1955: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.
Andreas, a young German student comes to Hungary on an exchange programme. In the Hungarian village he falls in love with the stationmaster's daughter Piroschka and spends much of his time with her. They have an enchanting summer until Andreas gets an invitation to join another young woman at a nearby resort. Piroschka is jealous and follows him there, causing trouble. It takes a long time for Andreas and Piroschka to even talk to each other again. When Andreas has to leave Hungary at the end of his holiday, he is determined to return some day.
