After liberation, cilka is charged as a collaborator by the Russians and sent to a desolate, brutal prison camp in Siberia known as vorkuta, inside the Arctic circle. Innocent and imprisoned once again, cilka faces challenges both new and horribly familiar, each day a battle for survival. Cilka befriends a woman doctor, and learns to nurse the ill in the camp, struggling to care for them under unimaginable conditions.
