Zur Zeit der Schneefälle

Inexplicably, the living room wall of the protagonist, Rainer, becomes permeable. A hole appears. As the wall continues to deteriorate, glimpses become possible in both directions. The sense of being overwhelmed intensifies for everyone involved. In their mutual observations, the neighbors are reflected—with all their everyday needs, misjudgments, and shortcomings—portrayed with a keen sense of situational comedy.
