Spoilers ahead
Martha, Yoli Haydn, and Susie Schmidt move into a newly rented apartment in Budapest, each bringing their own dreams and disappointments. Martha, a practical necktie salesperson who also acts as a part-time bunny feeder for Dr. Rudi Imre, hopes for stability and a sense of belonging. Yoli Haydn is blunt about her guarded heart, masking a guarded, almost callous stance toward romance. Susie Schmidt, a dancer with a romantic soul, clings to a vision of independence but quietly longs for a love that won’t disappoint her. The trio begins a quirky little ritual they learned about, counting the corners of their room, sitting down, and making a wish.
