Daniel Glattauer: In einem Zug

Eduard Brünhofer has been happily married to his wife Gina for half an eternity. He has made a name for himself as an author of romance novels, but has since lost the desire to reveal anything about his love. Now he is traveling by train from Vienna to Munich, where he has an unpleasant appointment to attend. Paid for externally.
Sitting diagonally opposite him in the train compartment is an early middle-aged woman. At first, Eduard Brünhofer is afraid that he will have to talk to her. Soon he can no longer avoid it. At first he hopes she will get off soon. Then he learns that she is also going to Munich. Catrin Meyr is his chance acquaintance. She tends to talk confidentially, asks uninhibited questions, doesn't leave anything good to say about long-term relationships, but wants to know everything about them.
In short: she wants to talk about love. And gets Eduard Brünhofer into quite a predicament in the process.
