In the organizer's words:

Victor Schefé reads from his debut novel "Two, three blue eyes"!

What else fell when the Wall came down? And what remained? Mother and son meet again in free Berlin. She, a staunch member of the SED, reported him again and again and had him monitored. He, a lover of freedom, left for the West in 1986 and studied acting. Deep nostalgia and hard ideology come together when the life of a family before, in and after the GDR oscillates between division and the hope of reconciliation in "Zwei, drei blaue Augen" (dtv).

In his first novel, Rostock-born Victor Schefé weaves a collage of letters, diary entries and Stasi files into a text that depicts an eventful and restless life. While one border is opened, others remain. It is a search for clues that illuminates the ruptures and central moments in the relationship between East and West. It deals with themes that run through German-German history and whose effects can still be felt today. Schefé has been in front of the camera for over three decades, appearing enthusiastically on television, in the cinema and in the theater.
