The action of Elena Katishonok's new family saga begins in the city familiar to the author, from where it stretches to different parts of the world. A new World — a new century - and the heroes' attempts to find their place here. In the family, everyone solves this problem, closed in his loneliness. One is immersed in work, the other in the past; emigration not only unites, but also divides. When people break up, only genuine friendships are preserved and carefully maintained. Jan Bogorad is trying to "find himself in a new country without losing himself." He comes to visit a new friend and finds... your destiny. The meeting could have taken place fifteen years ago, but ahead is the rest of my life, the happiness of today. The love story of "these two" — and the crushing power of maternal love; our days and the past; today's wars — and the Second World War through the eyes of a concentration camp prisoner and an officer of the Polish Home Army. The life paths of the heroes intersect bizarrely and unexpectedly, the old generation leaves and a new one appears. Our common historical memory also depends on whether it will be possible to preserve the connection between them.
