Hermann Wenning recounts a tale of some intoxication and little ecstasy, of youth on a Münsterland farm and a years-long drug career. It takes him seven years to stop claiming, "My craving for drugs is far from satisfied." "Run Back to Life" is a report from the unknown and helplessly repressed world of drugs right at our doorstep. Sympathetically honest and unvarnished, Hermann Wenning, as a keen observer of himself, does not need to rely on pity, accusation, or false emotions. From the first ecstasy experience of the 31-year-old to the criminal activities of theft and burglary, this life leads into the asociality of a junkie existence and multiple incarcerations; a dangerously accelerating cycle where brief moments of drug-induced happiness alternate with prison and therapy. At the end of this difficult, painful journey lies an insight.
