Florian, the son of a German mother and an Italian father, lives in Hamburg and decides to reconstruct the story of his maternal grandfather, Giorgio Bellusci. In the 1950s, Giorgio met Hans Heumann, a German photographer and Florian's other grandfather, in his native Calabria. Giorgio dreamed of building an inn where Alexandre Dumas had left a notebook with his ancestors during a trip, weaving a story about transmission, exile, and family roots. This novel by Carmine Abate explores identity, biculturalism, and memory across generations, set between Italy and Germany.
