Inspired by a real discovery, this is the story of a life-changing seduction in the long shadow of European historyHarvard, 1996. Anna is about to graduate when she meets Christoph, a German student visiting campus. They only spend a week together – discussing art, ideas and history – but it is long enough for Anna to fall desperately in love.
