Fleeing from the great war that Russia has unleashed against Ukraine, Melania from Kyiv finds herself in Germany with her teenage son. In her youth the tragic nature of Ukrainian history discouraged Melania, so she was in no hurry to immerse herself even in the recent past of Hutsul region, where her mother came from and where her beloved grandmother's poetic gift blossomed. However, now, far from home, a woman accidentally comes across a trail that forces her to find out the mysterious details of the life of previous generations of her family, because eighty years ago Germany was already a place where millions of young male and female Ukrainians ended up against their own will.
This is a novel about memory, about the ability to understand without words, about the magic of colors and plants. And about love that never ends.
