An old writer lies on his bed in a feverish state, sweating out the poisonous alcohol and looking for inspiration, but it eludes him so he buys three bottles of wine instead, hoping to at least write some 'tipsy notes'. Based on a novel by Peter Hajnoczy, our writer falls further and further into a nostalgic memory: a glorious summer of swimming and sand, and the polka-dot bikini-clad Krisztina, that fine matronly girl who couldn't stand him drinking and smoking, and he did try, but...the whole memory reduced to tipsy notes, and distilled into a very special film.
