Volga region, 1920-1930s. Jacob Bach is a Russian German, a teacher in the Gnadental colony. He has long since turned away from the world, raising his only daughter Anche on a secluded farm and writing magical tales that miraculously and tragically come true.
"I wanted to tell about the world of the German Volga region - bright, original, alive - about a world once created by outsiders in a foreign country, and today lost in the past. But this is also a story about how great love gives rise to fears in our hearts and at the same time helps to overcome them." Guzel Yakhina
