A 25-year-old motorcycle. A 70-year-old man. One of the most dangerous roads on Earth. The Kolyma Highway—better known as the Road of Bones—cuts through the vast emptiness of Siberia’s far east, a place where distances are measured in days, not miles, and where a simple breakdown can become a matter of life and death. When Lawrence Bransby sets out alone from Kyrgyzstan, his ageing DR350 has already spent two years abandoned in a dusty shed. Neither man nor machine should make it.

Dotted throughout this remote land are pianos - grand instruments created during the boom years of the 19th century and humble, Soviet-made uprights that found their way into equally modest homes. They tell the story of how, ever since entering Russian culture under the influence of Catherine the Great, piano music has run through the country like blood.

"Igors æblehave" er Bjørn Harvigs beretning om hans cykelrejse fra det sommerlyse Skandinavien og ud på Ruslands uendelige veje, hvor landevejsrøvere spøger og vodkaen er billig. En rejse ind i de forladte byer i Tjernobyls skygge og ud til Sortehavets bredder. Ind i Kaukasus’ vilde bjerge, hvor middelalderbyer, Kalashnikovs og arrige hunde byder velkommen. Og endelig en rejse ind i Irans menneskelige mangfoldighed og til smagen af sød te. Kan gæstfriheden og Bjørns taknemmelighed over at møde fremmede venner overskygge de gribende indtryk af områder præget af krig, hungersnød og etniske udrensninger?
