520    After receiving an unexpected call from the Australian 
       consulate, Matt Santos becomes aware of a painting that he
       believes was looted from his family in Hungary during the 
       Second World War. To recover the painting, he must repair 
       his strained relationship with his harshly judgmental 
       father, uncover his family history, and restore his 
       connection to his own Judaism. Along the way to 
       illuminating the mysteries of his past, Matt is torn 
       between his doting girlfriend, Tracy, and his alluring 
       attorney, Rachel, with whom he travels to Budapest to 
       unearth the truth about the painting and, in turn, his 
       family. As his journey progresses, Matt's revelations are 
       accompanied by equally consuming and imaginative 
       meditations on the painting and the painter at the center 
       of his personal drama, Budapest Street Scene by Ervin 
       Kálmán. By the time Memento Park reaches its conclusion, 
       Matt's narrative is as much about family history and 
       father-son dynamics as it is about the nature of art 
       itself, and the infinite ways we come to understand 
       ourselves through it. Of all the questions asked by Mark 
       Sarvas's Memento Park -about family and identity, about 
       art and history-a central, unanswerable predicament 
       lingers: How do we move forward when the past looms 
       unreasonably large?
