At the beginning of the twentieth century, amid the political unrest of the Russian Empire and Poland, a chance meeting in a railway carriage leads to a conversation about a troubled past. Aaron Eizelman, a Jewish merchant from Odessa, recalls years of commercial rivalry, humiliation, and ethnic hostility. The narrative explores human dignity, prejudice, persecution, and the struggle to preserve one’s identity and place in an unstable society.
