- Set in the Swiss Alps in the mid-1920s in a sanatoria village near Lake Geneva. A Polish woman profiles a motley collection of visitors to the village and patients at the sanatorium and their interactions with each other. Among these she encounters Armenian survivors of the 1915-16 genocide who were given refuge in Switzerland. The characters are all from different countries and each represents a distinct political or religious point of view.
