The heroes of the collection of stories by the famous Swiss writer Peter Stamm are wanderers. Car show participant Henry travels with a troupe of performers and dreams of meeting an extraordinary girl. Eric goes to work in Latvia. And Regina, left alone in a big house after the death of her husband, travels around Australia using a computer. And they are all constantly waiting. They are waiting for a train, or love, or the return of a neighbor whose garden never stops blooming.
