This is an automatically translated description

In this award-winning book, the author offers readers the stories of three different children. They are based on real events and are separated in time and space, but they are united by the need to leave their familiar life at home and the struggle to survive in a foreign land without losing themselves.

In 1938, Josef's family is forced to flee Nazi Germany after the events of Kristallnacht and his father's six-month imprisonment in the Dachau concentration camp. In 1994, Isabel's family, together with their neighbours, sailed from Cuba to the United States on a small homemade boat, risking death from many dangers on the open ocean. In 2015, Mahmoud and his family fled Syria after the bombing of his native Aleppo and crossed almost all of Europe by sea and land to get a chance for a peaceful life. Each of them loses something along the way, but in the end, fate bizarrely intertwines these three stories in a common finale.
