Six years after the previous story, the main setting is once again the Lake Balaton, where old friends are preparing for a wedding, surrounded by love, complications, misunderstandings, humour, and an emotional rollercoaster. Popular hits from Ferenc Demjén will once again accompany the storyline, as both films are actually based on them.
Anett Kormos wrote the script, and Krisztina Goda is the co-writer.
Franciska Törőcsik, Márk Ember, Péter Marics, Luca Márkus, Marcell Kirády, and Harmat Kovács play the main characters.
“The first part has been breaking all domestic records, since December 2024, and it has a huge fan base eagerly awaiting the sequel. Set in the unique environment of Lake Balaton, the second part also depicts fundamental human emotions that evoke our past as well as a retro feeling of life, while telling a story that may once again touch the audience. It recalls our youth, love, and an era that was decisive for all of us. If we succeed in achieving all this, there is a chance that many people will once again buy tickets to the cinema”, producer Attila Kirády of IKO Műsorgyártó Kft told FNE.
