Tanja grew up in Novi Sad, wandered the world, and is finally brought back by the heaviest and most unavoidable of burdens: family obligations and the unspoken moral pressure of those closest to her. She returns to look for a home that may or may not still exist in the shadow of the fortress, in a changed city and a changed world. Her search among a group of new friends, young intellectuals who scattered across the world at the end of the century and meet again in Novi Sad beside the bridge being rebuilt over the Danube, forms the main thread. Flashbacks take the story to other continents and back into the local and family history of the region, while the narrator's restless mind ranges from mythology to information technology.
