Beginning with the great-grandfather Isidor Lüvin and his emigration from Poland in the 19th century, his establishment of The Royal Danish Distillery, the story follows the children and grandchildren, as they look for successes in Denmark and abroad. At the heart of the narrative is the grandmother, Katze, and her memories. She tells the story from her patrician apartment in Copenhagen's Gammel Münt 14, where she has lived since the 1940s, and her story is a haunting portrait of the pride, grandness, and despair that has followed the Lüvin family while the world outside the old apartment gradually fell apart.
