In an old bookcase in her grandmother Rebecca's semi-ruined cottage, Rebecca finds a diary and a stack of letters from the 1940s. Soon it becomes clear that her family's history is much more complex than Rebecca had thought. She ran away from home and hadn't seen her own mother for many years. Now she must find out what dark secrets her beloved grandmother Anna had been hiding all these years.
The letters and diary bring to life the story of the World War II era. Young Anna is in love with Luka and is willing to risk everything when he asks her to help smuggle Jews across the strait, unaware that this intervention will forever change their lives.
Rebecca realizes that it's not only her who needs to come to terms with her past. But has enough time passed for the family to find a way back to each other?
A poignant and hopeful story about surviving tragedy and carrying one's love through the decades. From Frida Shibek, one of Sweden's most iconic writers.
