In a small port on the Baltic Sea, on the eve of the Second World War, the fates of a young Jewish woman, a communist, a pastor, a fisherman and a boy cross paths as they seek a way to leave Nazi Germany. The novel interweaves the moral tension of its characters, individual resistance and solidarity in a sober, restrained prose.
