Švédsko, 1945. Miklós, maďarský básník a novinář, přežil hrůzy koncentračního tábora Bergen-Belsen a zvádl i cestu lodí do nemocnice na ostrově Gotland, kde se má zotavit. Místo toho si však vyslechne krutou diagnózu: podlé lékaře mu zbývá nanejvýš půl roku života. Miklós se nehodlá vzdát a pouští se do boje s osudem. Napíše dopis všem sto sedmnácti maďarským dívkám a ženám, které pocházejí ze stejného kraje jako on a léčí se po celém Švédsku podobně jako on – s jediným cílem: poznat lásku.
