No osud má s ňou úplne iné plány: manželstvo, milostný pomer, dieťa- to všetko tesne pred začiatkom druhej svetovej vojny. Po vypuknutí vojny židovsku Ritu presídlia do geta,kde sa každodennosť mení na sústavný boj o prežitie.

Jej život medzi Nemcami je čoraz ohrozenejší a Rita sa môže stať jednou z ich posledných obetí. Odolá jej túžba nájsť syna aj tomu najväčšiemu zlu, aké kedy Európa videla? Epická sága vás prenesie do Paríža tridsiatich rokov,do Španielska v období občianskej vojny,ako aj do Moskvy, Varšavy,a napokon do samotného srdca nacistického Nemecka,kde sa jedna žena a jej dvaja muži- manžel a milenec- ocitajú v boji,v ktorom celé národy balansujú na pokraji skazy.
