Facing death with a smile ... Steiner, a simple man and a stonemason by trade, has an appointment with death. It was agreed that he would meet him with laughter and without any fuss. For Steiner, not being able to face death joyfully means that life has not been successful. Now the moment has come, and Steiner cannot laugh. He wants to find the mistake and returns to Uskow, where he was born. He realizes that he has spent his entire life trying to rid himself of the confusion imposed by his Catholic upbringing. Janosch's first play is a masterpiece of life closeness, problem awareness, and fresh linguistic vitality. Thanks to the ten colored etchings that Janosch created for the play, reading it also becomes a visual delight.
