A single word whispered in his ear by a stranger on a bridge prompts 40-year-old Günter to search for his past. Up until now, he’s had an essentially normal life. He has made a living as a theatre actor, had an affair with his fellow actor, the director’s wife, spent time with his daughter… But as a four-year-old child he was found in the woods in Germany, and now questions about his original family begin to dominate his existence, putting everything else out in the cold.
