In the organizer's words:

His brother was always there when Simon needed him. The experience welded the two of them together and became a cherished memory. Now that Vincent has returned to his parents' farm, Simon realizes that something is wrong with his brother. He loses consciousness several times. And after the diagnosis, this time it is Vinzenz who pleads: "Save me."

A novel about being there for each other and saying goodbye - and about the beauty of everything that was.
