Sixten Braun's perfectly ordinary life as a manager implodes when a whale explodes in Taiwan and a piece of its insides knocks him out. Barely out of hospital, he survives the crash of the next plane he boards, though not before finding the love of his life. Years later he is given a child who cannot be his, and then suddenly is: Simon, a newly orphaned boy who speaks only a language of his own invention. Reinventing himself again and again, Sixten travels round the world and ends up as a pool attendant in Stuttgart, curious about almost everything.
