Philipp Erlach has never thought about what it means that the dead outlast us. Then he inherits his grandmother's old villa on the edge of Vienna, and the family history he would rather avoid catches up with him: love affairs and deaths, injustice, silences and misunderstandings. In twenty-one single days between 1938 and 2001, three generations come to life, with two remarkable women at their quiet centre, in a century that was sad and comic at once and still echoes in the lives of the grandchildren.
