A reservoir is to be expanded and a holiday park built. Against this backdrop, a fantastic series of adventurous stories is told, with the cafeteria of a supermarket in Kall, an imaginary yet real little town, as the focal point. It revolves around the first love between Nina and Paul, the betrayal of love by Sophia and Eugen, and a late, promising passion between Mr. Vallentin and Isabell. Additionally, readers encounter the powerful impact of human weaknesses and disappointed hopes in dramatic and poetic episodes, and we learn about the consequences that deception, intrigue, and the pursuit of enrichment can unleash. The Grey Heads, a group of old men, attempt to uncover the secrets of everyday life in the Urftland from their regular spot in the cafeteria and to understand the hidden mechanisms of this universe.
