Three young authors and a photographer testify. This is how they see their environment, society, and themselves. Their language is concise. The perspective is unsettling. It seems as if they expect little from this world. It is as it is. And that is simply not good.

A woman from Hamburg, a Berliner, a Bavarian, and someone from Brunsbüttel provide German snapshots from the year 2009.
