Synopsis
„Heiko is sitting naked at the desk. Tobacco and keyboard in front of him, room sprays behind him. Heiko pisses. “A lot of people like that, me too.” The places in his past are ruins. He’d rather stay in his Berlin apartment. „If the damn fall of the wall hadn’t come, I’d still have work,“ he says defiantly. Finally he drives off: to his mother. The relationship has long since been weathered, the journey is no start. In his grandparents‘ garden he was overwhelmed: „They destroyed everything.““ (Duisburger Filmwoche)
