It is 1939. Despite a law banning him from performing surgery, Ravic โ€“ a German doctor and refugee living in Paris โ€“ has been treating some of the cityโ€™s most elite citizens for two years on the behalf of two less-than-skillful French physicians. Forbidden to return to his own country, and dodging the everyday dangers of jail and deportation, Ravic manages to hang on โ€“ all the while searching for the Nazi who tortured him back in Germany. And though heโ€™s given up on the possibility of love, life has a curious way of taking a turn for the romantic, even during the worst of timesโ€ฆ.
