A delightful conjugal comedy disguised as a travel novel and a hilarious counter-chronicle of a trip with literary pretensions. Clara, who has been commissioned to write a personal guide to Germany, convinces her partner to take a sabbatical and travel together through the north of the country. For her, it means the opportunity to finish an inspired work. For him, on the other hand, a foreigner who has been in the country for only a few years, it will be an opportunity for a pleasant vacation, with the only inconvenience of visiting museums... or bookstores to ask about his wife's published book. But no matter how much the route and activities are organized in the Germanic way, problems soon arise: some minor, such as her headaches or her crises of inspiration, which force Clara to stay in the hotel and him to carry out the corresponding report; others more serious, such as the irruption of the German family, or some friends of radical environmentalism, which will provide the trip with its most hilarious and endearing moments. The key, as the reader has already discovered, is that we are reading the chronicle that he, who is not a writer, is forced to write to collect everything that his wife's guide has omitted.
