Is it a historical novel? Is it a romance? Is it autobiographical? Is it film-maker tries his hand as vodka entrepreneur? Is it the film-maker's search for his Jewish roots? Actually, its all of them combined.

Especially liked the interspersing of the present with the past, and film-maker's use of his own family and friends to create the story.
