Things are not easy for young lovers Oskar, an Estonian university student, and Erika, a Baltic German descended from a now defunct nobility, in newly independent Estonia. The old prejudices remain, and Oskar questions the reasons for his love. Praised for its humour and psychological realism, the novel has been adapted for both stage and screen.
A gripping love story, in which the classic love triangle takes an untraditional form. The plot is centered on an Estonian university student who falls for a Baltic German woman in the aftermath of WWII.
