In ognuno dei tre piani prende vita la storia di una famiglia che scivola attraverso le scale del condominio e passa da un appartamento all'altro.

Finalmente ha trovato lavoro in uno dei luoghi più antichi e prestigiosi del mondo. In quelle sale hanno camminato Edith Wharton ed Ernest Hemingway. Vi è custodita la letteratura mondiale. Quel motto, però, le suscita anche preoccupazione. Perché una nuova guerra è scoppiata.
