Weissenbach and the others, this is a simple story. They live in Otterwill by the lake, a once small town that has grown, where life can be lived just like anywhere else. Because life can be lived everywhere; unless the individual refuses to give their consent. Jörg Steiner paints a panoramic picture of a city; a psychogram. He also depicts the citizens of the town, exemplary yet random. They come and go, their close or distant relationship with Weissenbach is strictly defined. Like everyone else, he is also a panoramic person and is 'observed' by a narrator, yet he remains the central figure.
