The university

Frankfurt, the university, 1988, 1989. At that time still a completely different study, Magister, actually complete freedom in everything. The field of activity ranges from drinking beer at the "Doctor Flotte" to seminars on the theory of truth, which drive the philosophy student to visits to the doctor within a semester. There is the threat of a complete loss of self, and times also get mixed up: while looking for a student digs, the protagonist comes across an erotic magazine in which he believes he recognizes an old love from 1983. He is rescued from his mattress tomb, in which he is desperately lethargic, by, of all people, a nursing case: Gretel Adorno, the ancient widow of the philosopher for whom he is on duty through his student job. He lets her scratch and insult him, but actually he gets along better with her than with.
