When Ettie's husband dies, her daughter Iza insists that her mother give up the
family house in the countryside and move to Budapest. Displaced from her
community and her home, Ettie tries to find her place in this new life, but
can't seem to get it right. She irritates the maid, hangs food outside the
window because she mistrusts the fridge and, in her naivety and loneliness,
invites a prostitute in for tea.
Iza's Ballad is the story of a woman who loses her life's companion and a mother
trying to get close to a daughter whom she has never truly known. It is about
the meeting of the old-fashioned and the modern worlds and the beliefs we
construct over a lifetime.
