City Hall Garden Cinema

On June 21, the Budapest Garden Cinema will screen the Hungarian film How Could I Live Without You?, evoking the magic of youth, love, and summer memories in the enchanting atmosphere of the Városháza Courtyard.

The film follows the story of Lili, who, through a chance discovery of a bundle of old letters, finds herself drawn into a special summer on Lake Balaton in the 1990s. Three girlfriends spend their vacation together—yet as the days pass, rules, loyalties, desires, and youthful dreams begin to shift. One of the girls, Eszter, tries to remain faithful to her partner left behind at home, but a fateful encounter with a musician changes everything.

The film has a nostalgic yet energetic tone, infused with music, youth, and the unique freedom of summer. The events of the past not only shed light on Lili’s mother’s youth, but also resonate in Lili’s present. Themes of love, jealousy, and the search for identity run deep and remain timeless.

Budapest Garden Cinema is a special open-air venue, and the Városháza Courtyard provides the perfect setting for this charming evening screening. Gates open 30 minutes before the movie, so early arrival is recommended.
