Work, the commute and sleep: that was Darius Kopp's successful life, until he lost his job and, soon after, his wife Flora took her own life. Since then he has drifted apathetically, not leaving the flat for months, killing time with television and frozen pizza. Now he decides to move: he wants to read the diary Flora kept in Hungarian about her depression, and he must bury her ashes. But where? In her Hungarian home village, in Budapest, or on the slopes of Ararat? So he sets off on a long journey through Eastern Europe. A black line divides each page: above it his journey, below it her diary.
