Lenz runs through the mountains, always on the edge. The sun is stinging, the snow is blinding and everything inside is empty. The bells are ringing in the valley because a child has died in the neighbouring village. It is spring. Everything is bad, but everything is possible. Those who are not immortal have already lost! Georg Büchner's fragmentary story is about the author Jakob M. R. Lenz's real-life stay in a mountain village. In it, Lenz becomes the description of a state, an attitude to life between boundless emptiness and unleashed energy – a disastrous descent between utopia and horror.
