Tanja Arnheim, whose debut novel "PanoptikumNeu" enjoys cult status, turns thirty in a few weeks. Her boyfriend of five years, the sought-after web designer Jerome Daimler, lives in his parents' bungalow in Maintal and is increasingly trying to understand his life as a spiritual retreat. The long-distance relationship of the two seems flawless. They remain closely connected through text and image, visiting each other for long weekends in their respective realities. But the desire to preserve their affection without it becoming staid or painfully existential presents the couple with a major challenge.
