The starting point is the cool seventies, including rock festivals, drug parties and free love. A fateful fatherhood, in which Arnfinn, Alexander's friend, is also involved, has its starting point there. The trail continues to West Berlin in the 1980s, that of the former walled city. There, Alexander encounters Louise's parallel world, that of a drug-addicted prostitute. The Berlin squatter scene becomes the focal point in the lives of Arnfinn and Alexander. Berlin gears up for its billion-dollar 750-year celebrations in the city's east and west, while funding for alternative projects is cut. Priest Klitsch warns of this imbalance, but is not heard. After the alternative cultural center Mehringhof was violently searched in a cloak and dagger operation, social contradictions clashed at the Kreuzberg Festival on May 1st. Amid the May riots and Reagan's visit, Alexander's trail is lost. In the end, did Alexander involuntarily get caught up in the wheels of the frontline city of Berlin? - Reader votes: "He is constantly and intensely concerned with the question of why we exist, of the origin of creation and of the nature of man." "Read your delightful story and laughed my ass off, Brilliant! It's that old satirist we love again." "On the other hand, I think there's a really great way in which you let people become protagonists, let them be free and give them back a meaning that others have long since lost." "During my last tour I browsed through your book. Excitingly written. Great episodes, nice style."
