Das grosse Haus

An odyssey around the world - wise and full of tender humor. For 25 years, New York writer Nadia has been working at a desk given to her by a Chilean who died in Pinochet's torture chambers. One day, a young girl arrives, claiming to be the daughter of the Chilean, and takes it away. From that moment on, nothing goes right in Nadia's life. She sets out to find the furniture and meets a man in distant Israel who is reconstructing the study of his uncle, who was murdered by the Nazis. "Inconsolably, one eventually finds oneself forced to turn the last pages. And marvels at how a wooden piece of furniture can become a metaphor for life.".
