In an unknown region, lost in the mists of the Middle Ages, lives Baronet Otto Pette, a man committed in body and soul to the ever difficult task of forgetting the past itself.

The notes of “Adiós Nonino”; the tears of Máxima de Holanda during her tryst with Prince William; the photo that she discovers, among the guests, the face of a dangerous activist daughter of a German banker. So begins this frenetic marathon, inspired by xenophobic and ultra-nationalist movements in Europe today.
