Adam's first wife Lilith is mentioned in ancient Oriental legends, in Talmud and in the medieval books of Cabala. According to these sources, she was not created from Adam's rib like Eve but from clay like he himself. Nevertheless Lilith was not recognized by Adam as his equal and left him after a quarrel heading for Babylon where pre-Adamians lived. She has no soul, and she is immortal. Lilith assumes different names, can change her appearance, and takes possession of men against their will. Once it's accomplished, she leaves her victims forever, marking them for either spiritual, or physical death. Whatever she does it is neither Good nor Evil. She is made of an altogether different matter. The story consists of three interrelated stories: "Escape" (1664, Hanseatic League); "Loss" (1883, Russian Empire/France); "Aberration Feelings" (1990, Latvia).

十六岁艺术家阿图尔的爱情被第一次世界大战的爆发打断了，失去母亲和家后，他在参军中找到了一些安慰，因为这是俄罗斯帝国第一次允许拉脱维亚人参军。然而，战争并不像他想象的那样——没有荣耀，没有公平。这是残酷和痛苦的。随着战争夺去了他的父亲和兄弟的生命，阿图尔现在完全是孤身一人。而且，俄军在承诺迅速解决战争和及时返回家园方面没有任何进展。只有他一个人关心回家，他的祖国只是其他国家的游乐场。在这种观念下，阿图尔为最后的战斗找到了力量，并最终回国从头开始，就像他新出生的国家一样。
