    This movie is really good. It's about a wealthy family that ran to america due to a cold war. They go to america to live the american dream, except that they have to leave thier youngest daughter behind due to her being a baby. Years later they get her back and go through problems like all families do.

    Some plus in learning about the cultural effects of the two setting:America and Hungary. Coca-cola, Elvis and how teen behave versus simple life in beautiful place with bad history. Kelly Endresz Banlaki playing great as little Zsuzsi. Pretty heartwarming.

    One of the opening scenes of this film, where Soviet soldiers harass a young Hungarian woman in a restaurant and shoot her father for an attempt to protect her, is totally false. It has probably been made that way for a benefit of an average American moviegoer, who would easily understand a bar brawl scene, but set in Eastern Europe few years after the Second World War ended ... One has to understand the restrictions the occupying Soviet Army's solders were under: Were they allowed to go to a restaurant? (No, they weren't.) Would they have money to pay even if they were able to go? (Same answer.) Would they have loaded weapons on them to shoot anyone there? (Absolutely not.) The whole episode (spell it c-l-i-c-h-é) belongs to a bad Western movie.

    I absolutely love this movie, it makes me cry when I watch it and I dont cry very often. Its a great movie about a young girl leaving her "family" in hungary and moving to america to be reunited with her real family, very sad.
