Navid Kermani goes on a journey from his home city of Cologne via Eastern Europe to Isfahan in Iran, where his family origins lie. Through countless conversations with the local population and Kermani's powers of observation, a vivid picture of the recent history of Eastern Europe, marked by various conflicts, is created.
