It was difficult to get into but well worth the work.


Set in Budapest (while all the action is in post-communist Prague), the young group of expats is thrown together by common circumstances, love, resentment and familial ties. John, who follows his brother to the city, falls in love with a naïve Nebraska farm girl, an enchanting (and quite possibly insane) old woman and a shaved head photographer. Interesting representation of the generational mindset and the east meets west world.
