The novel tells the story of 85-year-old Irma Weber, who moves into a nursing home due to her mobility issues and on the advice of her daughter Karin. Readers gain insight into the daily life of the senior home, which initially poses great difficulties for the elderly woman. It is only after her acquaintance with Rosi Weimerskirch and Otto Schiltz that she begins to come to terms with her new existence.
Through numerous flashbacks, the author also reviews Irma Weber's life, rich in memories. On one hand, it's touching to experience Irma in the nursing home because she doesn't fit the stereotype of an old woman at all, and on the other hand, the historical snapshots from her life are appreciated as the character is subtly characterized.
