Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. To counter student unrest, the governor of St Petersburg closes the state university.

Little does she know that Lju sides with the students - and the students are plotting an assassination.

Ricarda Huch (1864 -1947) was a ground-breaking German historian, novelist and philosopher. As one of the first women to study at the University in Zurich, she received her doctorate in Philosophy and History in 1892. She authored numerous works on European history. She also wrote novels, poems, and a play. Der Letzte Sommer (The Last Summer) was first published in 1910. In 1926 she was the first female writer to be admitted to the Prussian Academy of Arts.
