In this historical epic which spans three generations, we follow the fortunes of a family of Hungarian Jews as they struggle to survive and thrive. Over the course of the two world wars, successive generations adapt, first by changing their surname, and then by drifting away from Judaism. While these changes bring them some power, all is not healthy in the family unit...
