It's summer, Isa has escaped from a psychiatric hospital and is now on foot on a kind of road trip through the country. "The stars are wandering, and I'm wandering too," says Isa. She is 14 and so much more than that. You can find the whole world in her, if you want to. Lightness and heaviness, presence and memory, as well as death and life. "Isabel, ruler of the universe, the planets and everything. If I want the sun to stand still, the sun will stand still," she claims, and the further you trudge barefoot through the world with her, the more unequivocal this statement becomes. Isa has her own way of thinking, her own reality with its own rules—or none at all. She relentlessly exposes herself to life in all its facets. She approaches every encounter on this journey with such unconditional intensity, mixed with naivety, curiosity, courage, strength, and determination, that you stand there in amazement. Sometimes you want to warn, and sometimes you just want to witness unconditionally. A bargeman, a writer, a child, a dead hunter... and somewhere in between, Tschick and Maik. Almost by chance, Herrendorf's two novels , TSCHICK and PICTURES OF YOUR GREAT LOVE, intertwine at this point, yet remain separate works. The girl from the garbage dump is now the protagonist, and we experience the encounter with the two boys, who are on their way to Wallachia in a Lada, from her perspective.
