Summary: Cattle-dealer Salomon Meijer has made a reputation for himself among the Gentile as one of the few honest Jews in town. He leads a largely untroubled life, rewarded by his work and the company of his wife and two daughters. But tranquility comes to an end when he answers a knock at the door in the dead of the night. On the doorstep stands his young distant cousin, Janki, half-dead and begging for refuge.
