The year is 1927, and all is not well in war-ravished Germany. Nine years after the end of the Great War, dark times still cloud the country - but who has the heart to tell that to Peter, a young boy of the suburbs? Growing up innocent, there is nothing to stop his happy memories from forming: birthdays, friends, markets, and, mostly, Rebecca.
The year is 1936, and Hitler will not bring glory to Germany. Three years before the beginning of the Second World War, Peter knows that. Grown up and defeated, Peter no longer thinks of Rebecca. Until he finds her huddled in an alleyway, a Jew and an outcast.
