Description:
A woman washes up on the coast of Sicily. She is from North Africa and is looking for her son, who was kidnapped by his father when he was only a few days old. The woman has nothing but her work clothes and a plastic bag with a dagger hidden in it. She is dependent on strangers to get to Berlin, the city where her son is supposedly.
These strangers tell of their encounters with the silent, mysterious woman. Each story offers a different view of reality, a different truth. Ultimately, these fragments together form an unforgettable whole, a literary masterpiece about the boundless courage of a mother and the endless love for her child.
