In a Romania in transition, the writer carries on a correspondence with his non-existent son, who has emigrated to Greenland: they write about films, literature, politics and melting glaciers, and about painful moments that split the family and still haunt him. Letters from his non-existent mother, from friends real or not and from strangers with corrections slip in among theirs. This is the prelude to the second part, in which the writer becomes Oscar Rohrlich again, the recipient of letters from Artur Reznicek, once head of censorship in Romania. Now retired, the censor feels the need to write to the man he spent forty years trying to silence.
