The biography chronicles the life of a Czech artist, trained in the vibrant cultural hubs of Vienna, Berlin, Prague, and Paris during the 1920s and '30s. His marriage to a Czech Jew leads to their entrapment in the Nazi regime, resulting in a harrowing double exile first to wartime England and then to the United States. The narrative explores their struggles and triumphs as they navigate the challenges of re-establishing Riko's career amidst the dramatic cultural shifts from the 1950s to the 1980s.
