Newly married, Hans and Ina move to Frankfurt. Their happiness seems complete, except that Hans has chosen the wrong flat: the building stands behind the main station, and every night a fateful circle gathers in its courtyard around the Moroccan caretaker. Right after the wedding, the young couple's orderly life collides with the multicultural disorder of the present. Over one hot summer in the back courtyards of the city, an odd, comic summer night's story unfolds, its characters drawn as vividly as on a cinema screen, in deliberately stylish prose.
