When the sky breaks
He thought he was spinning the wheel of fortune. In fact, he spun a spiral of evil.
The year is 1937 and many in Czechoslovakia suspect that war is imminent. Jewish factory owner Hugo Rosenbaum, who owns a furniture factory in Přerov, does not believe that Germany would seriously start a bloody conflict. He is successful in business, has a beloved wife Judith and only one wish in his heart: an heir for his company. He's going to get it at any cost. But the coveted babel - as Jewish women call their children - will not only turn Hugo's fate in an unexpected direction.
