Příběh o maďarské revoluci v roce 1956 s prvky magického realismu. Budapeští protéká Dunaj. Csilla ví, že tato řeka má kouzelnou moc — když byla její rodina za druhé světové války v největší nouzi, zachránila je před holokaustem. Jenže to bylo ještě předtím, než se v Maďarsku chopili moci komunisté; než tajná policie odsoudila a zabila její rodiče; než se dozvěděla pravdu o svém otci, kterou by nejraději zapomněla. Teď se Csilla snaží na sebe příliš neupozorňovat, protože plánuje ze země, která ji nikdy dostatečně nemilovala, uprchnout. Všechny pečlivě promyšlené plány se však rozpadnou ve chvíli, kdy soud její rodiče nečekaně zprostí viny a očistí jejich jména. Tahle událost zažehne jiskru a vyvolá plamenné protesty po celém městě. Revolty v okolních zemích východního bloku podnítí v Maďarsku volání po revoluci. Nepokoje rostou a v budapešťských ulicích se zjeví sám Anděl smrti. Csilla se musí rozhodnout, jestli uvěří ve znovuzrození své nedokonalé země a bude ochotná riskovat život při její záchraně — nebo jestli ji nechá shořet na popel.
