Description
The tale of a grand summer house on a lake just outside the city of Berlin whose inhabitants have much to reveal about the ravages and battling ideologies of the twentieth century. A dozen characters tell their stories, from the Nazi architect who took over the property from a Jewish family, to the young woman who, post-reunification, loses her claim to the house that gave shape to her childhood memories.
