Trieste, 1941. Giorgio e Mattia Gherdovich sono i figli di un importante esponente del Partito fascista. Partiti per Lubiana convinti di poter fare la differenza nella fondazione della nuova provincia da poco annessa, scoprono presto quanto la guerra può essere cruda e straziante sia con i vinti che con i vincitori. Così nel 1943, pochi giorni dopo l'armistizio dell'8 settembre, i due fratelli decidono di prendere due strade diverse.

Nella Venezia Giulia del dopoguerra, a Trieste, i due fratelli Gherdovich cercano a tutti i costi di salvare la loro terra natia. Tra lotte intestine guidate soltanto dalla brama di potere, intrighi sinistri e controbattute diplomatiche, Giorgio e Mattia dovranno affrontare ancora una volta grandi tumulti sia politici che personali, sullo sfondo di un dopoguerra in cui la scacchiera europea è completamente diversa da quella della loro giovinezza.

The nearest star system, Proxima Centuri, is at least 4.2 light years, (over 20 trillion miles) and unreachable. It would take approximately 70,000 years with present technology to get there.
