What do the two lives of Veronika K. hide? Born in Tashkent to Greek parents who ended up there after the Civil War, she grew up with a secret, a former partisan father and a great love for Iosif B., and came to Greece, the homeland she had been taught to cherish, in 1989, the year her world began to collapse. In 2011 the fifty-eight-year-old answers the questions of a young journalist researching the fate of the children of repatriated political refugees. It is the journalist's last interview before her paper closes and she too must emigrate, and along the way she uncovers an unexpected side of Veronika's life.
