by Therese Lösch & Melina von Gagern
Evil dominates the headlines, while good appears only as a side note – a serious imbalance in the perception of reality. A young woman in Berlin sets out with a feisty silver fox in search of the good. She asks the people around her: Do you believe in the power of togetherness? Are there stories of the good that are truly compelling—maybe even radical, more than just comforting kitsch? Who dares to be dangerously good?

SURVIVAL OF THE FRIENDLIEST
Therese Lösch and Melina von Gagern collide the narrative of eternal evil in humans with oversized happy endings from everyday life and pop culture. They have distilled conversations, texts, images, and songs into stories that reveal how kindness and cooperation are essential for survival. After all, how can one keep believing in something if no one tells its stories anymore?
