The East German provinces, January 1990. Enrico Türmer, until now a man of the theatre and a writer in secret, takes a job at a newspaper and throws himself into active life. His letters to three people he loves tell of this turn in a time of upheaval, and in them, almost by the way, arises what he has long dreamed of: the novel of his life. A panorama of the moment our present was born, showing the end of the GDR not as grand history but as a series of everyday events.
