A beautiful lake covers the drowned village of Bözödújfalu, a traditional Hungarian community in Transylvania where five different religions used to co-exist peacefully. In an unfortunate twist of fate, the village was destroyed the year of the downfall of Ceaucescu and just before the fall of the Iron Curtain. Twenty-five years later, now sprawled across different countries and social classes, the remaining former inhabitants of Bözödújfalu meet again by the side of the lake, in an attempt to pass on their special values to the younger generations.
