Literatur LIVE
Unlike Harry, Ruth Schönwald doesn't think that every feeling has to be articulated, every problem has to be addressed. She could have had a career, but decided against it because of the children and in favor of Harry. What they saw in each other that night at a ball is not always clear to either of them in the decades to come.

Meanwhile, their three children Chris, Karolin and Benni are grown. When Karolin opens a queer bookstore, everyone comes together in Berlin, even Chris, who is a professor in New York and is therefore what Ruth always dreamed of. There the old conflict finally breaks out.
