Six paintings by the German artist Kingshover-Gütlein were stolen from the exhibition of the Crimean Art Museum. But the most advanced detective will not guess who the customer is and for what purpose the kidnapping was committed. The robbers walked past the museum's golden fund - the priceless icon "The Nativity" by Rublev's students and other equally valuable paintings - and took paintings by a little-known author that ended up in the museum after the war. The reader is treated to an exciting plot with carefully drawn out nuances of human relationships and the destinies of heroes of three generations. A multifaceted retrospective of the years of the Great Patriotic War, the war-damaged lives of ostarbeiters taken by the Nazis from Crimea and, of course, a beautiful and not very simple story of Great Love, for the sake of which feats and sometimes crimes are committed.
