Russia and Germany. There are probably no two other countries that have such deep and tragic ties. Russian Germans are people in between, no longer at home in their homeland, but strangers here in Russia. Two world wars. The two most terrible dictatorships in human history: Stalin and Hitler. The image of the enemy from the East and the image of the enemy from the West. And between the millstones of history, between two totalitarian regimes that forced people to destroy their own past, to accept politically correct identities minted by the state, is the story of one family, whose ancestor arrived in Russia from Germany as an apostle of homeopathy, leaving his descendants a fragile world at the crossroads of cultures.
