What matters in life? Elisabeth Heller is 102 years old, and slowly, as she says in the conversations she has had with her son André over the past months, it is time to say goodbye. "Inside, you still feel young and look forward to the next day," says the old lady, who was born when World War I broke out and married confectioner Stephan Heller at just 19. At another moment, she wishes that "the body should fade away in God's name" and then cheerfully recounts a suicide attempt out of love and about Lehár at the piano in Bad Ischl. A small book of great wisdom, dignified, poetic, and humorous. And a document of a late love and great openness between mother and son.
