The story is set against the backdrop of 15th-century Germany and focuses on the lives and struggles of individuals in the city of Nuremberg during a turbulent historical period marked by political and social upheaval. At its center, the narrative features Afra, a woman enduring the hardships of war and loss, as well as her family’s quest for safety amid the chaos.
