Two traumatized Holocaust survivors form a tenuous bond in this exquisitely crafted Hungarian drama. Having lost his family, a middle-aged doctor’s haunted survival is upended by a precocious patient, a needy teenage girl, who forms a father-daughter relationship with him. As a new Stalinist threat takes shape, these unlikely soulmates discover in each other a reason to go on.
