In this story, Hungarian author Zsófia Bán writes into a little-known episode from Hungary's tangled and traumatic pre–and post–World War II history, centered around film star and singer Katalin Karády. The iconic diva of the Horthy era was accused of spying in wartime, imprisoned, tortured, and banned on radio and in theaters in her home country in 1944; after her release, she saved Jews from certain execution on the Danube banks. Marginalized and banned from performing in the newfangled communist state, she entered permanent exile in 1951, spending several years in São Paulo, Brazil, never to act in a film or onstage again
