After a car accident, Dominika awakens from a coma, cared for by her mother and Grazynka Rozpuch, an old family friend who secured her a place in a specialized clinic near Munich. Instead of returning to Poland, Dominika, driven by wanderlust, sets off into the unknown and lives as a photographer among emigrants in New York and London, until one day she finds the place where she wants to stay. Interwoven into this female odyssey is Grazynka's story, who, before the war, is raised as an orphan by a couple of women known as the "Tea Aunts." When the SS deports the Polish population from the town, the Tea Aunts manage to place the child in the care of a nun. Upon returning from the concentration camp, they witness their neighbors fighting over the belongings of the vanished Jewish families. And there is no trace of Grazynka... Times and narrative levels are artfully intertwined.
