The real life story of the Frenchwoman Anne Beaumanoir. Based on the epic poem by Anne Weber. The work, which was awarded the German Book Prize in 2020, deliberately places a woman at the center of a literary form that is usually reserved for male heroes.

Anne, also known as Annette, was born in Brittany in 1923. During the Nazi occupation of France, Annette joins the resistance. In the late 1950s, she joins the Algerians' fight for freedom against the colonial power of France, has to flee France, and leaves her family behind indefinitely. Her biography is rich in "grand history," meaning it is rich in small decisions with great impact. What drives a person to resist? What is worth fighting for? What sacrifices does such a life demand?
