A touching true story about family, freedom, and longing between two worlds.
An American Rhapsody is a visually stunning and emotional portrayal of a Hungarian family forced to make an impossible choice as they flee a communist country for the United States in the 1950s. In the rush to escape, they are forced to leave their young daughter, Suzanne, behind in Hungary.
Years later, Suzanne (played by Scarlett Johansson as a young adult) finally joins her family in the splendor of California. However, life in America is not easy: Suzanne feels like a stranger in her family and longs to return to her Hungarian adoptive parents. The film is a beautiful coming-of-age story about the search for identity and the importance of roots.
