The heart, a wolf
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 it upon herself to tell 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 box runs and family rituals. About what keeps you small and what makes you big. And don’t worry – you wouldn’t believe how much humor there can be in the final stories.…
