Die Schrecken der Anderen

While ice-skating, a boy comes across a dead body in the ice and the beginning of a strange story. Kern, a wealthy heir, can no longer ignore the fact that his eyes are getting weaker. But does he even want to see clearly? There is Kern's hundred-year-old mother, who spends most of the day lying in bed in the attic of the villa, but still holds the reins with brutal consistency. There is Schibig, a lonely archivist, who gets carried away by Rosa, the old woman from the caravan, who takes a spectacular interest in the actually unspectacular incidents - because she understands that nothing ever comes to nothing, but that everything is connected: the dead man in the ice, the top hat lords at the Adler inn, Kern's wife, who refuses to eat chalk, a planned memorial, menacing mountain dragons and other persistent legends.
