Bresekow, a village in north-eastern Germany: a small world, narrow, remote and falling into decay, pushed even further to the margins after reunification. When old Mrs Hanske dies, her daughter Ingrid comes from Ireland with her family for the funeral. Ingrid fled Bresekow many years ago, and her visit stirs things up and raises old and new questions. The villagers begin to speak, about their lives now and their entanglements back then. In many voices, half a century of history from the edge of the world: about leaving, coming back and being unable to leave, about friendship and betrayal.
