En roman om kærlighed og vanvid:Som en anden ung Werther kaster fortælleren sin kærlighed på en fortryllende ung balletdanserinde, der synes at være af en helt anden verden. Gennem forelskelsens rus kommer hendes livshistorie langsomt til syne: opvæksten som et af diktator Ceausescus særligt udvalgte balletbørn ved den rumænske statsballet og flugten, nærmest ved et uheld, fra det rumænske diktaturs jerngreb. Hun lander i de københavnske gader, og i sit forsøg på at finde fodfæste, finder hun i stedet vores fortæller. Og så tager kærligheden sin begyndelse, der ender i vanvid.
