When one suddenly loses everything – the job, the partner, friends, and all future prospects – loneliness sets in. And when the mother takes her own life after the father has already committed suicide, one begins to ask questions. How did one end up in this situation?

Daniel Haas' exploration of loneliness, which runs as a defining element through generations of his family history, becomes a story of liberation. He describes how he repeatedly isolates himself through resentment, fears, self-doubt, and mistrust, and ultimately comes to understand what truly matters: acceptance and goodwill towards others and life itself. In the end, there is a glimpse of a life free from the shackles of loneliness, behind which something new emerges: hope for connection beyond societal expectations and constraints.
