At the age of 73, the well-known theater and film actor Edgar Selge makes his debut with a fictionalized childhood novel that tells of life with laconicism, wit and great emotional depth - and never lets you go.
A childhood in the 1960s in a medium-sized Westphalian town. A middle-class household in which a lot of music is played. The father is a prison warden who invites juvenile prisoners to his house concerts for the purpose of re-socialization, but administers draconian beatings to his own sons. Pain points that challenge us to reflect on the shadows of the Nazi era in our parents' minds, but also allow us to discover our own view of the world.
