Story
Selin is the luckiest person in her family: the only one who was born in America and got to go to Harvard. Now it's her second year, 1996, and Selin knows she has to make it count. The first order of business: to figure out the meaning of everything that happened over the summer. Why did Selin's elusive crush, Ivan, find her that job in the Hungarian countryside? What was up with all those other people in the Hungarian countryside? Why is Ivan's weird ex-girlfriend now trying to get in touch with Selin? On the plus side, her life feels like the plot of an exciting novel.

Story
Studentă în anul doi la Harvard, Selin încearcă să își descifreze relația neconsumată cu Ivan. Mirările și nebuniile tipice vieții studențești nu-i aduc cele mai mari satisfacții, iar dinamica dintre femei și bărbați adesea o exasperează. Dornică să-și depășească dezamăgirea amoroasă și să înțeleagă condiția umană, Selin apelează la un ghid existențial mai puțin convențional: operele unor autori precum Proust, Pușkin sau Breton. Cel mai seducător model de existență se dovedește însă a fi cel propus de Kierkegaard, care opune hedonismul comportamentului responsabil, așteptat de societate.
