Although born into privilege, Ayna Landau marries Karl Adler in
1924 and opens the door to a world of opportunities that propel her
husband's company to the height of success in the porcelain doll
industry of interwar Germany. As she basks in the glory of her
triumphs, her idyllic life is interrupted by Adolph Hitler's
meteoric rise to power in the 1930s as head of the Nazi Party.
While the chaos the Nazis create throughout Europe culminates in
World War II, Ayna and her family risk everything they have worked
for to secure the safety and freedom of not only their family and
friends, but strangers who seek their help, as well. Struggling to
survive the depths of personal tragedy that befall her by the war's
end, she abandons the Adler Doll Works and their beautiful villa to
flee Germany mere days ahead of the approaching Russian army,
determined to be reunited with her children in Switzerland. Ayna's
perseverance and resolve to restore the Adler name to the
prominence it once held becomes her final mission, in an effort to
bequeath its legacy to her children, grandchildren, and all future
Adlers.
