Teenaged István lives with his mother in a quiet apartment complex in Hungary. Shy and new in town, he is a stranger to the social rituals practiced by his classmates and soon becomes isolated, with his neighbor --- a married woman close to his mother’s age, whom he begrudgingly helps with errands --- as his only companion. But as these periodical encounters shift into a clandestine relationship that István himself can barely understand, his life soon spirals out of control, ending in a violent accident that leaves a man dead.

Through it all, István is a calm, detached observer of his own life and through his eyes we experience a tragic twist on an immigrant “success story.”
