A linguist flying to a conference in Helsinki has landed in a strange city where he can`t understand a word anyone says.
As one claustrophobic day follows another, he wonders why no one has found him yet, whether his wife has given him up for dead, and how he`ll get by in this society that looks so familiar, yet is so strange.
In a vision of hell unlike any previously imagined, Budai must learn to survive in a world where words and meaning are unconnected.
A suspenseful and haunting Hungarian classic.
