On the eve of the First World War, the maid Eva tries to end her life in the Danube in Vienna and instead is washed into the arms of the young infantry lieutenant Alois Kozusnik. Instead of her life, she loses her innocence. It is the starting point of an epic of three great strands and four generations, three families, Bulgarian, Roma and Austrian, that runs from the turmoil of the Habsburg monarchy through fascism and communism to the 1990s. At its centre is Meto, who after a shot to the head in the Second World War loses his memory. How do people live through years of oppression and violence, and keep finding the strength to hope and love?
