The father spends his last summer at Balaton, in Hungary, the old home. Once again he sits in his paradise garden under the acacia, again he rises to swim in the lake. But the return journey takes place in the rescue helicopter and ambulance, the destination a clinic in Frankfurt am Main, where nothing can be done against cancer. It's the hottest days of summer, and the daughter sits down to the hospital bed. With gratitude, she remembers the years together, with desperation she thinks of what is to come. It registers what is lost and what can be saved, what to do and what to create. How does the fabric of the family change now, and how does it change itself? What happens to us in the year of farewell and what the year after? In her impressive memory book "Die im Sommer", Zsuzsa Bánk tells about it.
