A man walks along the shores of a large German lake. He left suddenly after causing a series of 'emotional accidents', as he calls them: he burst back into the lives of people he had not seen for years, answered emails left unanswered for fifteen years with inappropriate questions, tried to tie up broken threads. Mauro Barbi, a historian who has spent years studying the little ice age that struck Lake Constance in the late sixteenth century, tries to correct other people's memories of him and build a 'shared memory'. Perhaps a private little ice age has emptied his life: where are Fiore, Arno, old Cardolini, Meri? Where is Anna?
