Alex Klein is a bankrupt real estate executive whose life is on a collision course. Not only do the market and his career look like a Trabant from before the fall of the Berlin Wall, but he has a wife who is thriving in success; a family whose habits are driving him insane; clients with bad taste and too much money. Not to mention 14-year-old baristas who think they know the difference between highland coffee beans, picked by virgins at midnight and the coffee from the local supermarket. So there's a lot getting on his nerves, so much so, that one day, when things become real serious, he can only weather the storm in his own repelling way.

Mobile Idiocy: Two old friends meet and exchange memoirs, but the conversations are conducted with a third person... and a fourth and fifth, for that matter. New Plans: A discreet hint to those in power that the country's intelligentsia may be found in bus shelters—at least for a while longer... God Created Gombert: The "real" creation story, including a plausible explanation that it is highly probable that the Lord is angry! Suddenly, one day, I fell down: Gombert & Flanhart have found the light, and it is literally shining from them! Divergent views are revealed on when one has truly fallen... Lummerkrog as a cultural mediator Pladderballe's main speaker philosophizes about the nature of culture and, as usual, ends up nowhere near anything resembling a conclusion.
