A deserting soldier treks through the torn-up countryside and
abandoned villages, trying to distance himself from the atrocities
of war. An elderly man sits beneath lime trees, remembering his
first sexual encounter one summer night with a female stranger who
whispered another man's name. A young woman takes up a job in a
care home, spending monotonous days scrubbing floors and yearning
to dance at the local nightclub. The artist Franz Marc lives on in
an imagined life as a patient at an asylum, before falling victim
to Hitler's policy of Gnadentod. Finally, a young Jewish girl, the
life she once knew destroyed, holds her memories close as she finds
refuge in wreckage of her homeland. And throughout there is the
shadowy presence of Viktor - one man or many? A looming figure in
Germany's own reckoning with its past. Through these five
interconnected stories, Philippe Claudel reflects on Germany's
complex history and the experiences of its people, dismantling the
idea of "a nation" or "a people" and exploring the malleability of
memory.
