The novel tells the story of 85-year-old Irma Weber, who moves to a retirement home due to mobility issues and on her daughter Karin's advice. Readers discover the daily life of the senior facility, which is a source of difficulties for Irma at first. Things get better when she befriends Rosi Weimerskirch and Otto Schiltz, helping her to adapt to her new existence. The author also takes readers back through Irma's memory-rich life.
