He has died far from home, in circumstances shrouded in mystery. Recalling stories her grandfather told her as a child, Natalia suspects he may have died trying to unravel two mysteries.

One was the fate of a tiger which escaped during German bombing raids in 1941; the other a man who claimed to be immortal.

But, as Natalia learns, there are no simple truths or easy answers in this landscape echoing with myths but still scarred by war.
