Light, witty, and with just the right touch of depth - a perfect summer novel. Jan Ehlert, NDR Kultur. Ernesto Schmitt just wants to complete his community service and get away. But then Uncle Alfonso rings the doorbell. Accompanying him is Astor, a fearsome purebred dog. Astor is hungry, Alfonso has a mission, and Ernesto has serious reservations. However, the uncle from distant Argentina pushes him towards a journey that will be revolutionary. A 17-year-old and his eccentric uncle are on the run through the Lüneburg Heath - from the police, from the past, from themselves. A fast-paced road movie with a giant dog.
