Im Sommer vor seinem Tod arbeitete Roger Willemsen an einem neuen Buch: "Wer wir waren" sollte es heißen. Er sah sich unsere Gegenwart an, als wäre er schon viele Jahre weiter in die Zukunft gereist: Was machen wir gerade mit dieser Welt und unserem Leben? Warum machen wir das?

Roger Willemsen reiste wochenlang mit der Bahn durch Deutschland und berichtet von seiner Entdeckungsfahrt, die kreuz und quer vom Kap Arkona bis nach Konstanz, von Bonn nach Berlin, von Oberstdorf nach Rostock führte. Aus seinen Beobachtungen, Begegnungen und Erfahrungen entwirft Willemsen ein facettenreiches Deutschlandbild, in dem wir uns selbst wiederfinden können. Er entdeckt neu, was allzu bekannt zu sein scheint und uns deshalb unbekannt zu werden droht.
