Tal Shani, born Tolik Schneiderman, has done three years in Lebanon and now, like many discharged soldiers, works night shifts as a guard at a desert airstrip near the Egyptian border to fund the big trip. Where his friends dream of South America or Asia, Tal yearns for the snowbound city where he spent his early childhood. He gets there, though not as he imagined: in the turbulent winter of the 1990s, with the Soviet Union falling apart, going back to his birthplace and even to the flat he grew up in entangles him in an unexplained security case, a crime he becomes party to and a love with no future, and his life comes under threat.
