Near Haarlem in 1982 a group of left-leaning idealists comes together, sure that progress will soon redeem the planet, with their own help. All but one of them believe it. They sing, toil and hope, but under the shared optimism rivalries and secrets grow between members, with effects lasting decades. In 2018 a high-ranking diplomat called Bernhard Wekman gets a visitor in New York from the group's early days. The novel weighs a life on one's own against a life in company.
