How Could I Live Without You? (2024)

nostalgia poisonsummer fling chaosfound family feels

Overview

ComedyMusicRomance

Lili is a typical girl of our time: she's lonely and tries to convince herself that this is what's good for her. But one day, she finds an old package of letters in her parents' apartment, which her mother apparently didn't want to show her at all. Of course, she doesn't hesitate much, she starts reading, and the past comes alive... an unforgettable summer in the early 1990s, when three good friends are on vacation at Lake Balaton, and of them, only Eszter wants to stay faithful to her boyfriend who left her at home, who swallowed a stake. But her plans, which she usually follows with engineering precision, are slightly messed up when she meets Gergo, easygoing, funny and has another very good quality: he plays in a band and performs with his friends on the beach in Szigliget in the evenings.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Lake Balaton was the unofficial summer capital of socialist Hungary; the film captures its post-regime transformation when Western pop culture flooded in.

Trivia

The beach concert scenes were filmed at the actual Szigliget location where the real 1990s band performed—some extras were there as teenagers.
