Judith is twelve years old and has a gift for drawing. She lives with her mother and her grandfather in Geneva. Her father, a famous painter, left for Hungary when she was very young.
One day, while she was getting ready to participate in a drawing contest, she discovered that chess could be a lot more interesting than what she once believed. Mr. Aliyat, a chess master from Iran, taught Judith that chess games are like a game of life: every movement matters and all the pieces, even the smallest one, are important. When Mr. Aliyat is arrested for being a suspect of fundamentalist terrorism, Judith’s chess game will have to change its rules.
