A Bookstore in Bondage City

If the captive is not your body but your heart, then freedom is only possible through reunion.

Matilda's story begins in the 1940s when she was still a young girl… Hans, her childhood friend with whom she grew up, takes on a completely different meaning in the young girl's heart one day. He is now a young man who made his heart flutter for the first time. Despite the darkening world around them, it doesn't take long for them to turn into two lovers who never stop believing and loving each other. The bond between them is so strong that they are sure that the light emanating from their pure love can illuminate all the darkness. However, the evil that Hitler's Germany spread in waves crushes those who stand in his way, and unfortunately even the power of love is not enough to stop them. One morning, when the Nazis come to take Hans and his family away, they take Matilda's heart with them. After that day, nothing will be the same as before. Even though her body is free, Matilda is now one of the captives in the captivity city, ready to risk anything to regain her heart that beats with Hans's. [...]
