This is a family saga spanning three decades, told through the perspective of the grandson, Robert. Following his grandfather’s return from Russia in 1949, the Freytag family experiences the German “economic miracle” through a garden gnome business. Robert’s father, Klaus, aspires to be a writer, marrying Gisela and fathering Robert, but the marriage dissolves, leaving him to be raised by his grandparents. While Klaus embraces the rebellious spirit of the 1968 generation, he finds love with his neighbor’s daughter, Laura.
