1918. Elian wakes at 4 AM to bake bread in a small-town bakery. His brother Thomas is gone. The dreamer, the singer, the one who was supposed to come home. All that remains is an iron key hanging above the oven, a promise that will never be kept. Yet Elian keeps baking. Keeps feeding the strangers who wander in. Keeps humming the four-note melody Thomas taught him in a summer meadow, years before the war took everything.
