To Georg Røed, his father is no more than a shadow, a distant memory. But then one day his grandmother discovers some pages stuffed into the lining of an old red pushchair. The pages are a letter to Georg, written just before his father died, and a story, “The Orange Girl.” But this is no ordinary story - it is a riddle from the past and centers around an incident in his father's youth. Now, from beyond the grave, he is asking his son to help him finally solve the puzzle of her identity. A modern fairy tale with a philosophical twist.
