Back in the seventies, they all studied in the same class, and their teacher Vanda Grava loved them all equally. But now, at the reunion after 40 years, they are completely different. Diverse. Among them are millionaires, a politician, a farmer, a teacher, a poor poet... Especially deep traces in their destinies have been left by the Awakening and the changes it brought. Each has their own fate, their own thinking and concepts of honor, justice, money, the state. However, it doesn't even cross the teacher's
mind that her children could end up killing each other. But that's exactly what happens. Conflicts escalate, and it takes just a small spark to ignite a huge bonfire of hatred. By telling the stories of people's destinies in different eras, the author reveals historical processes, paying special attention to the Awakening and its outcome. The reader is led to think about how fair the changes brought by the self-won freedom were. Why did it make some millionaires and drive others into poverty? What is their own fault? What secret forces moved and influenced that intoxicating miracle we call the Singing Revolution? What can be done to correct mistakes? Where has the dream of a free, just state that cares for all its children disappeared?
