Riga, early eighties.
Mark is the manager of a commission store. With a place to live, but no home. With women, but without a sweetheart. With a propiska, but no homeland. Lives without dramas and shocks, but still can not reach happiness, which, it would seem, near. This search repeatedly reshapes the hero's life, and the return to the land of the ancestors is only one of the steps on the way to himself. Miriam Zalmanovich's debut novel sends the reader on a journey through the fates of people of that time, which the streets of Vitebsk, Riga, Haifa have not yet had time to forget. Getting acquainted with each character shows that there are no chance meetings. And each character takes the reader on a new journey: with past sins, for new happiness and peace, which seems to be at arm's length all the time, but constantly out of reach.
