However, in spite of their closeness, Krystyna has always refused to tell Mania about their family or the time they spent together when Mania was small during the war. Their story is mainly told in the present as Mania deals with her mother’s aging, her death, and her final words, ‘Find them … make it right.’ She wants to fulfill her mother’s last wishes, but has little idea of where to start.
