Poligamy

Running time: 85 mins

What if every morning when you woke up your wife was a different woman? No ? I mean really was a different woman!

Andras and Lille have a loving, long-term relationship. Now they?re getting married: Lille is pregnant, and Andras, though happy, is worrying about commitment. Plus, secretly, he wishes he had had more time to play the field. Well, unfortunately for him, poor Andras is about to have his wish granted in a way he never imagined, and it?s going to drive him crazy.

A runaway hit in Hungary, this inventive delight is like the best of the 1930s-40s screwball comedies of Howard Hawks and Preston Sturges, but with a completely modern heart. Though it has a serious side, first and foremost, it is just a whole lot of fun. And just when you think you?ve got it figured out, surprise!! Off it goes in another direction.
