A boy and a girl play soccer on the Faroe Islands and hardly notice how they fall in love with each other. A father suffers a heart attack while his daughter tries to save a spider on the balcony. A guy wakes up with his bike lock around his neck, pieces together the events of the previous night, and is forever cured of pub life. And no one has captured the absurdity of Hartz IV quite like this: "To receive benefits from the job center, you must suffer. A concept like a salt plaster." It’s about love, farewells, Berlin, and the whole world, this crazy pearl that someone has thrown at our feet. Kirsten Fuchs has long captivated her audience as a reading stage star, she writes plays, and her much-praised novels tackle the big questions of existence in a casual tone. Now, you can experience Kirsten Fuchs as a brilliant, versatile storyteller.
