Set in the present, the novel picks up the threads of an earlier book about women struck down by the regime installed after the coup of 9 September 1944. Aleksandra, granddaughter of one of those women, is no longer a child, and the weight of the past now falls on her. The mindset of those years has lain hidden in society like a beast in its lair and is now baring its teeth again. Shaken by news of the tragic death of the artist K. K., Aleksandra faces a new, altered form of the old terror and the question of what becomes of an artist threatened by the powerful. The Covid pandemic, the war in Ukraine and Bulgaria's political crisis all echo through her long inner monologue.
