È il 1945, la guerra volge al termine. Ma in un piccolo villaggio greco la vita continua come niente fosse, in una convivenza con gli occupanti tedeschi ormai diventata abitudine. Un giorno, però, cominciano a cadere, inaspettate, le bombe inglesi. Anche sulla scuola. Gli studenti si rifugiano in una grotta, guidati dalla loro insegnante, l’incantevole Signorina, "sottile come una lama di luce". E qui lei, per far passare il tempo, racconta loro di un’altra guerra, quella combattuta dagli Achei sotto le mura di Troia per le grazie della bellissima Elena, rapita da Paride al suo sposo Menelao.

Мир, в котором Вторая мировая война имела иной — шокирующий — исход. Мир, в котором человечество внезапно открыло, что уже довольно давно делит Землю с двумя более развитыми расами. Мир, в котором ты — функция системы. Ты можешь объединиться с кем-то другим, чтобы составить дубль-функцию. Можешь отдать свою жизнь в пользу другого — твоей контрфункции. Но навсегда останешься лишь скромной строчкой в массиве данных, которые скрупулезно соберет и проанализирует некто способный просчитать и взвесить вероятности наступления всех возможных вариантов будущего.
