"In 1930, three farmers committed suicide in our colony. But contrary to the records of the committee and the conclusions of the English policeman, the people of the colony knew that only two of the suicides committed suicide, while the third suicide was murdered." Seventy years have passed. Ruth Tabori, a teacher at the high school of the colony, writes and tells about that murder and about the men in her family - her grandfather, her husband, her brother and her son - whom she loves, whom she is angry with, whom she misses and whom she tries to forgive. She writes and tells about friendship between men, about love and betrayal, about revenge and atonement.
