A girl looking for excitement in the big city finds it -- in all the wrong ways -- in this streetwise drama. Aniko (Gabriella Hamori) is a teenager from rural Hungary who decides to strike out on her own. She heads to Budapest, where she moves in with her best friend Molni (Martina Kovacs). Aniko soon gets a job in a factory, but she was hoping for a flashier career and is still on the lookout for the man of her dreams. Aniko thinks she might have found him when she meets Miki (Sandor Csanyi), who works as a security guard; Miki and Aniko hit it off and are soon spending their evenings double-dating with Molni and her beau, Kristan (Tamas Lengyel). But Miki wants to make more money, and when he learns that Kristan is doing well as a drug dealer, he decides he'd like to give the dope business a try, leading both Aniko and himself into a world of danger. I Love Budapest was the first feature from filmmaker Agnes Incze.
