Arthur Ophof’s life is dull and monotonous. Work at a toilet paper manufacturing firm, boring colleagues, a disgusted wife, the road to work, the road home, and golf with friends every Friday—all of it merges into one gray, joyless day. And then he realizes that the former young dreamer has, unnoticed, turned into an office worker with a belly and depression; love for his wife is gone; having children didn’t happen; and he’s about to turn fifty. It seems there’s no way out of this swamp. And then he gets fired. For someone, this dismissal might be the final blow, but Arthur Ophof takes it as a call to action. Can a man like that still hope for change? Yes! Arthur Ophof makes a desperate move that overturns his whole life.
