The story

What Is Willenbrock About?

The premise of Willenbrock without spoilers.

Willenbrock, a second‑hand car salesman, seems to have it all—a wife, two mistresses, a BMW, and a cottage in the German town of Grünen. His comfortable existence is shattered one day when he is mugged at the cottage, a violent encounter that triggers a cascade of changes. Gradually his marriage, affairs, and sense of security begin to unravel, and the once‑stable world he relied on falls apart around him.
