Summer pasture

Matthias Sichelmann has been a patient at the Sommerweide psychiatric clinic for almost a year. Diagnosis: schizophrenic psychosis, caused by alcohol abuse. In conversations with his therapist, the story of the son from a wealthy family gradually unfolds: abandoned by his mother at the age of twelve, sent to boarding school by his father, and showered with money out of guilt, the gifted student begins to drink. He drops out of his studies in philosophy and biology. In a state of full intoxication, he provokes a scandal with his mother, who is found dead the next day. Matthias loses his sanity over this and subsequently lives in his own world. The eccentric characters of his fantasy city Megalopolis reflect reality and hold the key to the actual events.
