A tender yet tragic interracial love story set against the shadow of pre-WWII prejudice, where two people from vastly different worlds find connection but face insurmountable social and circumstantial obstacles.

Waldemar Nods, a young man from Suriname, meets the older Dutch woman Rika van der Lans and they fall in love. In pre-WWII Netherlands they could not be more different. The one black, the other white, 17 years between them and on top of that Rika already has four children with another man. They love each other, but then Rika appears to be pregnant.
