They fly across the ocean to start a new life in the promised land of their rebellious teenage daughter. True, they know only a few English words.

The grandfather is both the typical Las Vegas retiree and the proud Hungarian who owns a real junkyard. Jenő is a true survivalist and a desert philosopher, whose great banalities are sometimes interspersed with real wisdom.
