Summer 1972: After two years abroad, Amrei returns to Munich to finish her studies – the city where she spun bold dreams for the future during the student protests in 1968. Torn between two men, the policeman Wastl and the leftist David, she fled the city in a hurry back then. Now she finds that the former rivals have become friends. But the idyll is deceptive. Against the backdrop of the Olympic Games, she must decide what price she is willing to pay for her dreams. The novel will be published by List Verlag on 27 July.
