In 1952 aanskou Abraham in afgryse hoe sy huis afbrand. Hy slaag daarin om die sideboard wat hy ná die Tweede Wêreldoorlog vir sy vrou Stella gemaak het, uit die vuur te red. Dié kosbare meubelstuk neem sy plek in hul nuwe woning in as ’n soort huisaltaar. Dertien jaar later word hul bestaan weer bedreig, dié keer deur gedwonge uitsettings ingevolge die Groepsgebiedewet. Abraham en Stella klop aan elke deur in hul stryd om hulle lappie grond en huis te behou. ’n Aangrypende verhaal oor verlies in die aangesig van ’n onmenslike stelsel.
