Freedom may beckon, but preferably not all day long; when freedom only beckons during the summer holidays, life is already hard enough.
Jörgen Hofmeester is the father of two daughters and works for a prestigious company. Thanks to a carefully planned financial strategy, he lives in style: lawlessness leads to disaster. For Hofmeester, stagnation is the condition for love and happiness. He loves his daughters in a languid, restrained way.

That his wife has traded him in for a childhood sweetheart living on a houseboat, and that part of his fortune has vanished due to embezzlement by shady groups controlling the global economy—it doesn’t bother him. As long as he’s allowed to love his children.

But one evening, his wife returns to the doorstep. And then a man enters Jörgen Hofmeester’s life—a man who looks exactly like Mohammed Atta.
