From the violence of the past and the love of the present

When Nike leaves her apartment in Berlin-Mitte, she must pass by the stumbling stone of her great-grandmother. Nike grew up as a Jew in East Berlin, and every street carries memories, including painful ones. When she receives a job offer in Tel Aviv, she accepts. There, she meets Noam, a journalist with a deep and complex story. Nike lets him into her life as the first man in years. However, standing between her and Noam is Noam's uncle Asher. He is possessive and brutal, determined to make Nike disappear from Noam's life. Fearlessly and touchingly, Mirna Funk tells the story of the violence embedded in Nike's and Noam's family histories. How do they live with their individual fractures? And how can they love each other?.
