Following a daring escape from communist territory, Olga and her three-year-old daughter Eva start a new life in Australia with Sasha, an Odessan Jew who survived Nazi-occupied Ukraine. Old wounds lurk beneath the surface and the fledgling migrant family disintegrates into insanity, acrimony and estrangement.
