The Chronicles of Melanie: The 14th of June nineteen forty-one, Soviet-occupied Latvia: Without warning, the authorities break into the house of Melanie and her husband
Aleksandr and force them to leave everything behind. Together with more than 15 000 Latvians, Melanie and her son get deported to Siberia. In her fight against cold, famine
and cruelty, she only gains new strength through the letters she writes to Aleksandr, full of hope for a free Latvia and a better tomorrow.
