The story follows a restless young wanderer who, after a feverish night of dreams on the Csángó plains, sets off on a steam‑powered carriage toward a city that seems both distant and inevitable. He narrates his fierce love for every blossom, bird song, and the whispered promise of the earth that raised him, while wrestling with a sudden, dark longing to abandon life altogether. Yet the memory of his father’s teachings steadies him, urging his pen and his heart toward renewal.
When the carriage finally lurches into the bustling train station of Budapest, the boy is struck by the city’s sudden glow, a stark contrast to the quiet fields he left behind. Among the crowd he catches sight of a young royal visitor, a symbol of the hopeful future his people imagine, and feels a surge of purpose to witness and record that transformation. Determined, he vows that every story he writes will take root in the soil of his beloved homeland, letting its forests and meadows live on in words.
