Feature. A romantic drama.
Five years ago, a group of students fell in love with each other and had their perfect moment.
Now, first-time film director Nathan Beck is back in Budapest to shoot a movie about it. But his return stirs up memories for the old Breakfast Club survivors trying to cope in this city now their perfect moment is over...
There’s Gábor, who lives to make films but writes bubble bath ad copy to live; Virág, the hotshot career woman, with a different man in her bed each night and a bottle of vodka in her handbag; Luca (Gábor’s girlfriend and Nathan's ex), who hides away in her home town because she's scared of Budapest and its too-perfect memories.
And then there’s Judy Carter, movie star: seduced by the story of the Breakfast Club, she embarks on an affair with Nathan, risking the happy marriage that everyone but her believes in.
But Nathan can’t resist another perfect moment and plunges into it, risking everything, even though he senses that Judy is just play-acting a love affair, playing his ex, submerging herself in the Breakfast Club myth just to fuel her character, and she’ll be gone forever once the film has wrapped.
The Budapest Breakfast Club is perfectly positioned as an Anglo-Hungarian co-production to be shot in Budapest, and I already have contacts in the Hungarian film world who are ready to facilitate pre-production.
