Das Herz, ein Wolf

In the organizer's words:

A hot Munich summer: while the whole world is at the outdoor pool, including her boyfriend and her child, Nele Kastner sits at her father's deathbed and waits with him for death. And although it is natural, this death, just before the end everything seems like theater. In the leading role: the lack of conversation. As her father is no longer able to speak, Nele takes on the task of telling their story. Of growing up in the petit-bourgeois suburban milieu of the 1980s and 1990s. Of psycho-fasting and crumbling neuroses, of first and last times, of boxing runs and family rituals. About what keeps you small and what makes you big. And don't worry - you won't believe how much humor there can be in the final stories.

In an addictive tone, Nina Sonnenberg tells the story of a suburban youth in the 90s, of family imprints, of life and death, relentlessly, tenderly and with captivating wit

"A finely and sensitively told story that takes all children of the 80s back to a childhood full of cigarette smoke and Knorr soups." Eva Karl Faltermeier
