"Well I really wouldn't care to scratch your surface, Mr. Kralik, because I know exactly what I'd find. Instead of a heart, a hand-bag. Instead of a soul, a suitcase." – Klara Novak

Why watch this? This is a lovely holiday romance about pen-pals who yearn to meet.

Plot Summary: Alfred Kralik and Klara Novak are co-workers at a Budapest gift shop who constantly bicker, unaware they are each other's anonymous romantic pen pal. While their work relationship is filled with tension, their correspondence reveals a deeper, more tender connection. The story follows their interactions both in person and through letters, showcasing how their true feelings emerge despite their outward animosity.

Dad's Preview: In the hustle and bustle of life, sometimes we don't want to see something right in front of us. It's safer to have romantic notions about a pen-pal we've never actually met. After all, reality can shatter the dream. This tender comedy is an underrated holiday treasure. It was also the inspiration for the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan sappy tear-jerker You've Got Mail.
