Ulrich Grober has set out on a journey. In the heart of our society, he searches for signs of a "different world"; for people for whom growth and success are no longer desirable. His journey takes him along the trails of Wilhelm Hauff's fairy tale "The Cold Heart" into the Black Forest; in Wolfsburg, he composes a farewell to the automobile; at the Erfurt Predigerkloster, he meditates on Meister Eckhart's seat about the value of serenity. What interests him is the rise of sustainable values in the current zeitgeist; what he speaks of is the hunger for deceleration and simplicity, for empathy - and meaning.
