Lennard Salm is fifty, a conceptual artist with a studio in New York, more or less successful at everything and yet a stranger in his own life. Searching for material among flotsam on a beach, he finds the body of a baby, clearly from a sunken refugee boat, and for the first time he questions the point of his work. Shortly afterwards, he learns that his older sister has died and travels back to his family in Hamburg, meaning to return to his own life as fast as possible. But what is his own life? His younger sister Bille loses her job, his father is fast becoming helpless, and Salm is needed.
