When Yuri Santacruz attended Adolf Hitler's appointment as chancellor, he could not have imagined how much his life in Berlin would change. He had arrived a few months earlier, having fled with a few members of his family from St. Petersburg, suffocated by a revolution that had left them with nothing. Yuri was also cut off from his mother and younger brother, who the Russian authorities stopped from leaving the country. Back in Berlin, his sense of justice prompted him to defend a young communist attacked by Hitler's stormtroopers. That same day, he meets his great love, Claudia. His life will take an unexpected turn, and what had previously been his top priority - finding his mother and brother - will be replaced by another, more urgent one in those turbulent times: staying alive. A great story of love and war, of struggle and survival.
