Original score from the 2020 drama feature film directed by Lili Horvát, starring Natasa Stork, Zsolt Nagy and Benett Vilmányi, produced by Poste Restante and released by Greenwich Entertainment (USA).

THE STORY: Márta, a forty-year-old neurosurgeon, falls in love. She leaves her shining American career behind and returns to Budapest to start a new life with the man. But the love of her life claims they have never met before.

THE SCORE: “I think musically these are really simple pieces.What charges this music so much for me are the imperfections of the individual instruments. The sound of the detuned piano has a constant aura of fragility attached to it. The increased volume added to the sound of the brush of the bow has a feeling of intimacy and rigidness. Yet I wanted to use a few sounds that come from objects that are not musical instruments, yet they have a sort of musical quality, such as the screeching of tram line tracks. This is a film that plays itself out within the viewer and I tried to achieve the same feeling and depth with the score.” – Gábor Keresztes
