80-year-old Hungarian-Australian refugee Ana lives in an Australian neighbourhood with her wartime memories and aggressive dog. She clashes with some neighbours, but befriends one, young actor Catherine, who is also haunted by the past. Life lessons come for each from a poignant mutual dependence.

In an often funny, at times suspenseful and dreamlike story with almost 30 characters, we move from 2007 Australia to Hungary’s dangerous, WWII past and back again.
