A saga from Amager about three generations living under the same roof, with detours to the opera in Paris and Circus Sowalskaja in St. Petersburg. All told by the shy painter, Esther.

When Esther's grandfather bought the house on Palermovej in 1921, he wanted a home full of opera, bohemians and a love as intoxicating as described in King Solomon's Song of Songs. But his chosen one, Russian Varinka, would much rather play on greyhounds out on Tårnbybanen.
The unbridled passion and dream of an artist's life continues to haunt the family. Especially Esther and her twin sister, the diva Olga, struggle with their sky-high expectations for life.

The Song of Songs from Palermovej is a lush and wild novel about the hunt for the love of the century. And about losing big and giving it all another chance.
