In the brief time the train is idle, Natalia learns the truth about her father and meets a remarkable woman named Dr. Magdalena SchaefferovΓ‘, whose family will become a significant part of her future.
Shaken by these events, Natalia arrives at a spa on the shore of Lake HevΓz in Hungary. Here, she meets the journalist and writer MiklΓ³s Count AndorjΓ‘n. In time, they will marry, and Natalia will devote herself to life on a rural estate in Hungary.
When war breaks out in Europe, Natalia loses contact with MiklΓ³s. She believes they are to meet in Prague, a city under Nazi occupation. She sets up shop as a fortune teller with a pack of Tarot cards. In this guise, she meets Magdalena SchaefferovΓ‘βs young daughter, Anna. Accused by the Nazis of spying, Natalia is sent to a concentration camp. In April 1945, Natalia and Anna are reunited, and with courage and determination, find the strength to begin again in a changed world.
