Behind Franziska lie two years in Paris and a relationship that ended in an adult manner. In terms of self-actualization, she is doing well - she has a completed degree, a solid income, a healthy social life, and an impeccable sense of style - yet something seems to be missing.

In search of lost lightness, she sits in cafés, completes assignments, exercises, and meets her friends. Around her, different life concepts collide: urban escape and reflective drug use, authentic social media profiles and artificially conjured interpersonal connections. Franziska observes the ambiguities of her present unperturbed and writes about them from a safe distance in a novel manuscript - until an unfinished chapter catches up with her with great force. With fine humor and precise language, Carla Kaspari describes a milieu without showcasing her protagonists, but also without falling for them.
