Story1
Wladimir Kaminer hat auf seinen zahllosen Reisen Deutschland genau kennengelernt. Doch plötzlich erkennt er Land und Leute kaum wieder. Der geordnete Alltag steht kopf, und statt das Verrückte im normalen Leben zu entdecken, beobachtet er nun eine Normalität, in der alles verrückt ist. Weihnachten ohne Märkte, Kreuzfahrten ohne Landgang und Pfeile am Boden, die uns den Weg durch eine plötzlich veränderte Welt weisen sollen. Da braucht man jemanden, der einen zwischendurch zum Lachen bringt.
