Synopsis
Two groups of friends, one magical night and water that washes off the differences in possessions, religions and origin. What is left of courageous plans and fragile relationships twenty years later?
The dramatic poem by top German author Roland Schimmelpfennig speaks of difference and inequality of worlds existing side by side, of fear, prejudice and indifference that deepen the chasm between them. But also of love and tenderness.
