TAUSEND ARTEN, DEN REGEN ZU BESCHREIBEN

Awell-kept housing estate on the edge of the city. Late summer. It’s raining. A mother, father and daughter gather outside their son’s bedroom door. Mike is 18 and has barricaded himself inside for weeks. He is no danger to others or himself, he is not ill, he has made a conscious decision to have nothing more to do with life outside. His family gather, question, demand, plead, flip out, despair, accuse one another, ignore and hope. The door becomes increasingly a mirror of their own stories. The more they question or flee from their powerlessness, the more they are trapped in their own overload. Only the daughter, Miriam (14) senses her brother’s reasons in her own life. Sometimes withdrawing is the only way to a better existence.
