Eine transsibirische Fahrt ins Ungewisse und die Geschichte einer außergewöhnlichen Anziehung – zupackend und zart erzählt Maylis de Kerangal von zwei Menschen, die nicht wissen, wohin; von der Weite der russischen Landschaft und einem Fluchtplan, der so undurchführbar wie verführerisch scheint. Aljoscha ist Zwangsrekrut. Zusammen mit zahlreichen anderen russischen jungen Männern befindet er sich in der transsibirischen Eisenbahn. Was ihn von den anderen unterscheidet: Seit er den Zug bestiegen hat, ist er entschlossen zu desertieren. Jede Haltestelle birgt die Versuchung der Flucht, doch wird er es allein nicht schaffen. Während er mitternachts auf den schmalen Gängen eine Zigarette raucht, trifft er auf Hélène, eine Französin, die älter ist als er. Sie sprechen keine gemeinsame Sprache, und doch scheint es eine geheimnisvolle Verbindung zwischen den beiden zu geben. Als Hélène ihn mit in ihren Wagen der ersten Klasse nimmt, wird sie unausgesprochen zu seiner Komplizin. Doch wie soll sie, die selber auf der Flucht ist, dem Jungen helfen?
