Die Bücherinsel

In the organizer's words:

Based on the novel by Janne Mommsen

WORLD PREMIERE
A tribute to reading

The members of a quirky reading circle on a North Sea island love very different stories: from Irish novels to horror and high literature, everything is included.

Cleaner and beach chair renter Sandra Malien also knows and loves countless novels. When she joins the reading group, she presents a text by an unknown Danish author who writes about the colors and landscapes of the north. Everyone is deeply moved.

When she cleans the shelves of the bookshop and sorts the books by color, everyone is sure: she is really an artist! Especially as she knows the famous publisher Meinhard Gerke, who is expecting a bestselling American author on the island. Sandra wants to help Franziska from the reading circle to get her first book published by Gerke.

But Sandra's behavior becomes increasingly erratic; she behaves strangely and contradictorily. And the Danish author doesn't exist...

At some point, her energetic façade collapses, revealing a huge problem that she has been avoiding all her life and that nobody would have expected.
