This is an automatically translated description
The one who saved one human life saved the whole world.
A girl living in a small Crimean village does not know about this. However, during the Second World War, she saves Jewish children from certain death. And a whole era later, she, already an old woman, was tracked down by 80 adults she saved. And she became the righteous woman of the world - forgotten, tortured by both the Nazis and the Soviet regime.
This is a fact. Everything else is an apocryphon, an invention of the author. Generalised and subjective. Just as the Village and all its inhabitants, intertwined like vines, are generalised and somewhat phantasmagoric.
The author does not claim to be a historian. Only — on the smallest «tongue» of the smallest bell, which rings in the middle of the night with the voices of thousands of exiles: «I'm-over-noosy-i-over-noosy…» — and reminds us that our HOME is always with us. The enemy can drive us out of it, but no one can take it away.
If you believe in returning!
