DESCRIPTION:Synopsis of Film  Both a political tale and love story, Goodbye Hungaria 
 begins in a refugee camp in Hungary, home to hundreds of men, women and 
 children fleeing war and oppression from every corner of the globe. To the 
 refugees, Eastern Hungary is a cold and unwelcoming place; Asylum is rarely 
 granted, and there are few opportunities for work. For most, the only way 
 out of this legal limbo is through a thriving underground smuggling ring. 
 Jon Nealon’s cinema verité documentary chronicles the lives of Abed 
 Al-Sahli a Palestinian refugee who acts as advocate and de facto translator 
 for the camp’s Arab population, and Charu Newhouse, an American 
 volunteer. As both Abed and Charu struggle to make life better for the 
 refugees caught in red tape and subject to the vagaries of international 
 politics, their fates become connected. The film traces their unlikely love 
 story from the hopelessness of the camp, to a dramatic arrival in New York 
 City (complete with a startling final scene set in a location that will 
 thrill and move every New Yorker!) where they come to start a new life, 
 together.   \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2005/08/15/73403.php
