"In a small town in Communist Hungary, Andrâas Szabad's childhood comes to an abrupt end with his father's return from prison and the death of his loving mother. In search of new beginnings, Andrâas moves with his father to Budapest, where he discovers a passion for photography, for uncovering the invisible through the visible, and for fixing matter and memory so as to ward them against the inevitability of time. An unorthodox first encounter brings Andrâas together with âEva, and soon they become entangled in a psychosexual relationship of consuming passion, but also of bitterness and resentment"--
