A golyó, amely megölte Puskint

An unusual love story that leads deep into the soul and into time, bringing back twentieth- and twenty-first-century Eastern Europe, where old stories of passion, hatred, friendship and betrayal come alive again. Set in a small town on the Danube and told in the first person, it touches on fatherhood, alcoholism, the Holocaust and the Kádár years. It asks whether there is life beyond love, whether people can rise above their desires and instincts, resist history, and be free among the ruins of dictatorships.
