´Repetition made a great and, as I have since learned, lasting impression on me´ W. G. Sebald
Filip Kobal, an Austrian teenager, is on the trail of his missing older brother Gregor, who he never knew. All he has is two of Gregor´s books: a school copy book, and a dictionary in which certain words have been marked. As he enters Slovenia on his journey, Filip discovers something else entirely: the transformative power of language to describe the world, and the unnerving joy of being an outsider in a strange land.
´One of the most moving evocations I have ever read of what it means to be alive, to walk upon this earth´ Gabriel Josipovici
