As a participant in the Monday demonstrations from the very beginning, 19-year-old Ania finds it hard to give up her dream of a different East Germany. She lives in a shared apartment in Leipzig-Connewitz with Sascha, the Russian painter, and Alex, the West Berlin journalist, pursuing her dream of an open relationship. However, she cannot forget her great love, Bernd. Ania's sister Brit and her friend Suse also find a new home in the dilapidated and occupied house in Leipzig's Montmartre. But their community is more fragile than they believe: attacks by neo-Nazis and the double life of a housemate threaten their peaceful coexistence. Arrive? If so, where? Leave? If so, where to? Everything is open. So much seems possible. Promise, chaos, burden: What is freedom, really? Kathrin Wildenberger continues the story of Ania, Brit, and Suse in her second novel, following "Montagsnächte.".
