The writer Kurt Prinzhorn is invited to a literary meeting in Innsbruck, where something strange happens: while he was out, someone took a long bubble bath in his hotel room and deliberately left traces, yet the electronic lock shows no sign of entry. Next, his keys disappear. A few days later, on a trip to Moscow, more inexplicable things happen, and in Madrid, where he meets a former lover again, the chain of strange events goes on, leading him far back into his own past. A story in three parts about the adventure of language, and about how every word is a choice.
