Summary Anikó, a medical student, is visited by a soon-to-be-wed Zsolt, a would-be artist getting cold feet about his upcoming wedding to society girl Klári. Unwilling to confront Klári himself, Zsolt begs Anikó to make a phone call telling Klári that he cannot go through with the wedding. As Anikó delays making the call and Zsolt delays his decision on whether to reunite with Klári for their wedding, the two open up about their careers, personal lives, and visions for the future, told through experimental animated musical numbers.Bubble Bath review – hallucinogenic animated musical is a work of 70s genius|Movies|The Guardian“Foam Bath,” The Hungarian Film That Pushed Character Animation Into New Territory|Cartoon BrewScreen Slate
