In the 1950s, a vacation resort is built on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast: Goldstrand, planned as a place in the sun for everyone. Eli is conceived on the building site. Sixty years later, he has long since celebrated his greatest successes as a film director and is lying on his dottoressa's couch in Rome. He speculates and fabricates his family history, which takes him through an entire century and across the European continent, from Odessa via Constantinople and Varna in Bulgaria to Rome.
