Imre Rose, the world-famous opera singer and a Jew himself, remains in Budapest and does not flee the country, despite his connections to the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Sweden, and the Vatican. Halász visits the singer every Friday to dine with him. After a while, the marvelous, hope-inspiring concert begins, which is listened to by the hiding inhabitants of the house with enraptured faces through the villa's open dumb waiter.

Autumn 1944. Yellow star, ghettos, Arrow Cross terror. The inhabitants of Hungary's capital, Budapest, await the tragic fulfilment of their fate with helpless resignation. However, above one of the city's villas, once a week in the evening the stars of hope sparkle, if only for a few minutes. This short time gives fresh heart to those hiding here and kindles hope in their tortured souls to live for another day. This mysterious power is none other than a beautiful song that can be heard at such times from the villa's tower room.
