Andreas Lüscher is really a psychologist for accident victims, but since taking a post as a counsellor on the oncology ward of a hospital, his working days are filled with the vocabulary of cancer treatment: dose fractions, risk of relapse, pairing. He prefers observing to being in the thick of things and keeps his distance, and the relationship between patient and doctor fascinates him. Then he comes across the file of a patient whose name he knows: Meret Etter, with whom he shared an intense love years ago, a lawyer who took part in the Zurich youth riots and fought injustice with passion. After sixteen years of silence, they meet again.
