PAULA IRMSCHLER // Everything always because of then // Reading - Open Air
Wife and mother: what connects them? One gave birth to the other.
The dog is here now, now you have to look after him, says mom. Just like the children, they were suddenly there too and you just had to look after them. Her daughter Karla wants to do things differently. So she fled from Leipzig to Cologne and broke off contact with her mother, which is easier than discussing things with Gerda. But now Karla is struggling with her education, fighting with the rent, and her girlfriend could be the next step. Was it a good idea of Karla's siblings to give them a trip to Hamburg together for their birthdays - their 30th and 60th? True, full of humor and tenderness, Paula Irmschler tells the story of two very different women who happen to be mother and daughter.
Paula Irmschler, born in Dresden in 1989, moved to Chemnitz in 2010 to study. After five more or less successful years, she moved to Cologne and wrote for "Jungle World", "Missy Magazine" and "Musikexpress", among others. She has been an editor at TITANIC since 2018. Her debut "Superbusen" was a Spiegel bestseller and was adapted for the stage.
"Reading Paula Irmschler is like drinking with your best friend, but without the hangover. Magical."
