Set on the island of Rhodes during the interwar period, the narrative explores the lives of a Jewish family amid a backdrop of economic hardship and cultural coexistence between Christian and Jewish Greeks under Italian rule. As families face the harsh realities of sending loved ones abroad for work, the story reveals the complexities of their relationships, the impact of the Holocaust, and the intergenerational struggles between tradition and modernity. Through the eyes of the youngest child, themes of bigotry, adolescent dreams, and familial bonds are intricately woven with the use of Ladino and local sayings, culminating in an epilogue that reflects on the family's fate post-Holocaust.
