En 'Cap a Sibèria', la narradora anhela viajar a Siberia cuando sea libre de decidir su destino. Mientras tanto, de la mano de su hermano mayor, explora un mundo que se asemeja a una burbuja de cristal: una franja de tierra limitada por el mar, un puerto con barcos que van y vienen, parientes fríos, tabernas donde el abuelo se refugia en el alcohol, una madre que canta himnos y un padre silencioso. Esta burbuja representa la infancia, que se rompe cuando, en abril de 1940, Dinamarca es ocupada por las tropas alemanas. La historia irrumpe en la infancia, marcando el inicio del viaje hacia la Siberia de la edad adulta, donde el deseo de escapar se enfrenta al temor de separarse de los seres queridos.
