Hartmut Hainbach is in his late fifties and has achieved everything: he is a professor of philosophy and married the woman of his dreams, whom he still loves after twenty years. Yet he is not happy. His wife has moved to Berlin, turning the marriage into a weekend relationship; their daughter keeps her parents at a distance; and the frenzy of reform at the universities has spoiled his pleasure in his work. When he is offered the chance to change careers, he wants clarity at last about a life in which he thought all the important decisions had long been made, while the world of humanist scholarship flies apart.
