Alem Grabovac: Die Gemeinheit der Diebe

In the organizer's words:

Smilja comes to Germany as a Yugoslavian guest worker. Her life is characterized by piecework in the factory and the violent outbursts of her partner Dušan. When Dušan dies, Smilja's world once again falls apart at the seams. Night after night, she hears him knocking in the cupboard and seeks redemption from a miracle healer. Together with her son Alem, whom she placed in a German foster family as a child, she struggles with questions of origin and homeland, guilt and forgiveness.

Alem Grabovac tells the story of his mother in a gripping and straightforward manner, who repeatedly falls just short of happiness and yet never stops hoping.

"I am thrilled, moved, excited. Every line is bubbling and important."

Mely Kiyak
