Rozi constantly marvels at life in a way only few can. Her dream world is amazing. Though she has ample reason to feel sorry for herself. She is alone. All her loved ones are dead. She has lost them all, her grandmother, her father and her mother. And for a while she has been living with a new kidney. After all these ordeals her health suffered, and her transplanted kidney ceased to function. From that point she has been kept alive by a dialysis machine and an artificial kidney station has become her second home. Three times a week she travels from Szentendre to Budapest, to be tied to the machine, which cleans out her system. She lives on a pension for the disabled, but not even her psychiatrist can take away her dreams. Rozi believes in a new start.
