Three bears.The first, a diligent memoirist whose unlikely success forces her to flee Soviet Russia.The second, her daughter, a skilled dancer in an East Berlin circus.The third, Knut, a baby bear born and raised in Berlin Zoo at the beginning of the 21st century.
A dreamlike story of filial love and glimmering hope, set in a future where the old live almost-forever and children's lives are all too brief.
