“Goodbye forever,” he says as he leaves the apartment. Gerhard is an early retiree; a mysterious illness affects his mobility. He sells his apartment in Vienna and moves to Chiang Mai to be with his girlfriend Amy, a taxi driver. He lives there with her and her family, with the money left from his liquidated Austrian existence intended to finance a house. Amy opens a silverware shop. Maybe the doctors in Thailand will find a way to heal Gerhard. A Good Life, Act Two. This could be the deal.
