Erzgebirge mountains, 1992. A stolen car is abandoned in the forest and Jana needs a bowl. Beate opens her shop, which hardly anyone notices. Then there's Nina with the computer screen. Steffen travels across the country with new products, and Jan struggles with his job-creation scheme. Why did Lotta steal the car? A memoir with gaps.
