A parachutist is standing in the town centre of Frankfurt/Main as if he had just landed. His tracks are leading him by way of wild jump cuts through offices in skyscrapers, streets, parks and even into earth works and building sites of major projects of the financial district: Everywhere plants are threatening, reptiles and glistening apparitions are lurking. A metaphorical city portrait.
