Budapest, 2009. The third and final part of Ruya's book is being filmed. The Second World War is over. A happy ending, like the Csardas of a Hungarian rhapsody, seems to be imminent, but the fall of the Iron Curtain and a revolution in Hungary delay all hopes and expectations. Families are shattered; lovers are separated. As the film shoot draws to an end, Ruya follows the film crew to Paris, to Istanbul and finally to the Greek island of Simi, desperately trying to turn fiction into reality in search of a happy ending in her own life.
