When sixteen-year-old Eva from Hungary invades the domain of her New York cousin, Willie, and his friend, Eddie, she is at first a source of color in their lives. A year later, after rescuing Eva from a midwestern winter and her eccentric Aunt Lotte, the quirky cabal heads south for an existential vacation in a paradise called Florida. Jarmusch’s low-budget film won the Camera d’Or at Cannes.
