Content
In the densely populated community, living in prefabricated
houses in Frankfurt-Oder/Germany,
two children die from thirst and neglect - while the
neighbours ignore their cries for help. In this painful
study of the depth of the human soul Aelrun Goette
explores a community, where sheer exhaustion,
loneliness and hopelessness have culminated in a
tragic catastrophe.
