Rien ne va plus - there`s no going back and all options are open. An East German backwater, January 1990. Enrico Türmer, up to now a theatre man and writer on the quiet, turns his back on art, signs up with a newspaper and throws himself into working life. In his letters to three people he loves, Türmer writes about this change in times of upheaval. As he does so, Türmer produces what he has always dreamt of: the novel of his life. As a chronicler of recent German history, Schulze achieves a panorama of the 1989/90 global change – the starting point for our present times.
