A touching family novel that holds up a mirror to us: How can we banish toxic masculinity from our lives and thus protect women, young men, and nature?
Bremen, 2025: Elias has really messed up, he knows that. He spends the summer hiding out with his grandmother Catharina in the moors. But his grandmother also has a secret she has never told him about...

Together with her daughter, she hides in an old house in the moors near Worpswede. As the sundew glistens in the first light of morning and the bees buzz in the heather, she finally finds peace and can search for the real Catharina, whom she has had to hide behind a facade for so long. But her future is anything but certain. Especially when she makes a discovery in the moor that could bring her husband back into the picture...
