His name is Erich Jaag. Just as his grandfather fought for the right to live as a free man in a caravan, Erich Jaag fights for the right to live with his wife Lisa in the cabin that his father built in the marshland to settle down with his family. However, the marshland is a restricted area. The first eviction order was not survived by his father. Jaag fears that his right to a home could be challenged. Abandoned by Lisa, he lives in anticipation of her return. But he also knows what he owes to the two illegally immigrated refugees from Zaire. He hides Ferdinand S. and Mamadou U. to keep them safe from deportation.
