Leonard Engel stands at a significant point in his life: his beloved childhood in Mainfranken is over. His first love has given way to a great emptiness. He moves to Vienna, studies, and encounters the equally distant and dubious Tiago. Then he meets Boris. Obsessed with the desire to reclaim his life with this person, Leonard begins to write down his story. It is about people, animals, and angels - and why there is no life without literature. A powerful novel about the search for and addiction to love.
