Passionate Women

Lilla, in her forties, works as a couples therapist and has devoted her entire life to her family. That’s why it comes as such a shock when her husband leaves her for a young nail technician. Lilla’s daughter, Zsófi, and her mother, the once-famous actress, Vilma, decide to pull her out of her depression and self-pity and encourage her to start dating again. Lilla hasn’t been single for decades, so at first she resists, and secretly she still hopes her husband will come back to her. So her mother resorts to a ruse, taking her daughter and granddaughter to their country vacation home, where she introduces her to a charming &journalist who is writing Vilma’s autobiography. The situation is complicated by the fact that Zsófi’s friend is also trying to set Lilla up with a big-mouthed classmate who shows up completely out of the blue and further complicates matters.
