From the day he first met the love of his life, Monika, to the moment, only five years later, when he loses her to a fatal illness; from the tortuous and hilarious moments of adult relationships, to the intimate, tender rapport with the little boy he believed to be his son - Armin is forced to reconsider everything he has ever believed in…. |
