Overview
En un pequeño pueblo de Chechenia, Havaa, de ocho años, observa desde el bosque cómo los soldados rusos secuestran a su padre en mitad de la noche y después prenden fuego a su casa. Cuando Akhmed, su vecino de toda la vida, encuentra a Havaa escondida entre los árboles con una extraña maleta azul, toma una decisión que cambiará sus vidas para siempre. Buscará refugio en el hospital semiabandonado de la ciudad vecina, donde la única doctora que queda, Sonja Rabina, trata a los heridos. Para Sonja, la llegada de Akhmed y Havaa es una desagradable sorpresa. Agotada y sobrecargada, no tiene ningún interés en asumir nuevos riesgos ni responsabilidades. Pero en el transcurso de cinco días extraordinarios, el mundo de Sonja se desplazará de su eje y revelará la intrincada red de conexiones que entrelaza los pasados de estos tres dispares compañeros y, de manera inesperada, decide su destino. Una historia profunda y reveladora sobre el poder trascendente del amor en tiempos de guerra.
In a small village in Chechnya, eight-year-old Havaa watches from the forest as Russian soldiers abduct her father in the middle of the night and then set fire to her home. When Akhmed, her lifelong neighbor, finds Havaa hiding among the trees with a strange blue suitcase, he makes a decision that will change their lives forever. He seeks refuge in the semi-abandoned hospital of the neighboring city, where the only remaining doctor, Sonja Rabina, treats the wounded. For Sonja, the arrival of Akhmed and Havaa is an unwelcome surprise. Exhausted and overburdened, she has no desire to take on new risks or responsibilities. Yet over the course of five extraordinary days, Sonja’s world is thrown off balance, revealing the intricate web of connections that bind the pasts of these three unlikely companions and, unexpectedly, determine their fate. A profound and moving story about the transcendent power of love in times of war.
