After the collapse of communism, he dies under unexplained circumstances, leaving behind a body of second-rate literary work that no one reads. Years later, his children come across а manuscript that reveals the other side of their father. Before his death, their father committed his only act of courage and literary honesty by revealing the truth about his past and changing the lives of future generations.
