| | | The moving story of a man drawn back into his past by an illness that robs him of his grasp of the present.Konrad Lang, a man in his sixties, is haunted by images of his early childhood, and he cannot remember his immediate past. Memory tugs him back to the villa of his adoptive "family, " the Kochs. Konrad grew up with Thomas Koch, rich and spoiled heir to the family's fortune. Konrad was Thomas's playmate and in due course became the family's whipping-boy and now the Kochs don't want to know -- except for Elvira Senn, the all-powerful matriarch, who has reason to be worried by Konrad's lucid spells, and then Simone, the newcomer to the family, who takes pity on Konrad and threatens to uncover secrets the family would like to see hidden forever.
