A novel about two men who, at first glance, seem very different, and about one question: does happiness only find us when we stop trying to be someone?
In the summer of 2024, an era comes to an end for football star Chris as his professional contract terminates. To fill the void, he writes a book and during a book presentation he meets Roman, a quiet young man in a frayed coat who pays with counted coins and whose fate will stay on Chris’ mind.
Their brief meeting evolves into a dialogue that forms the framework of the novel. Kramer recounts Roman’s story whose world shattered on New Year's Eve 2000 when he discovered he was adopted. This is a story about two lives that could not be more different: here the world champion, there the boy who never had a home. Melancholic, honest and deeply moving.
