Tracks the creation and survival of a sacred religious artifact across 500 years, weaving back and forth between a series of interconnected chapters that span across several centuries and countries including pre and post inquisition Spain, 17th-century Venice, Nazi-occupied Bosnia, and a contemporary narrative focusing on an Iraqi refugee family’s harrowing escape journey from ISIS held Mosul to safety in Europe.
