The story follows a young boy named Jürgen Kolbenreiher as he navigates the challenges of growing up in a society that weighs heavily on personal identity and morality.

The narrative centers around Jürgen's internal struggles and interactions with his family, peers, and the contrasting realities faced by his less fortunate classmate, Leo Seidel. As Jürgen grapples with his self-worth and the expectations imposed by his father and aunt, he also develops a budding consciousness of social injustice, particularly highlighted through his observations of Leo's predicament.
