About this audiobook
The story follows a man named George and his wife Magda as George approaches his 75th birthday and his legally enforced death. Their world begins to collapse as the policy affects families deeply, especially when their children end up on opposite sides — one working for the government, the other joining a resistance movement.
As the deadline approaches, the family is forced into an intense emotional and moral struggle:
accept the system and George’s fate, or
risk everything to escape it.
Along the way, the story introduces the idea of an underground world offering hope and possible survival outside government control, blending political oppression with a search for freedom and meaning.
