Philipp Erlach has inherited his grandmother's house in the suburbs of Vienna, and the family history, which he definitely wants nothing to do with, is now breathing down his neck. Arno Geiger tells the story as if it were present: about Alma and Richard, who just had Ingrid in 1938 and want nothing to do with the Nazis. About fifteen-year-old Peter, who runs through the bombed streets with the last Hitler Youth in 1945. About Ingrid, who wants to start her own family with the student Peter, and about Philipp, their son. Arno Geiger succeeds in bringing a sad and comedic century to life.
