Summary/Abstract: An old coachbuilder from Transsylvania moves to Budapest, after the war. Coaches are out of date, but he builds the models of all the lavish carriages that he has worked on during his life. When he emigrates to the other end of the world, Australia, the models remain in his small council flat in Budapest. The flat is assigned to a young man in the late seventies. He finds the unclaimed models and makes a big business of the delicate objects. He sells them one by one to a misterious collector and invests the money. By the nineties the characterless young man is a millionaire, the symbol of the new society in Central Europe. He takes the last model to Australia to find the old man and thank him. He finds his grave. On the way back his plane crashes in the Australian bush.
