About This Novel
After more than 20 years in prison, Yolk was pardoned by the president and released. To celebrate his freedom, his sister Christiane organized a weekend party at her house in the suburbs of Berlin, inviting Jörke's friends to attend. Christiana hopes this is a good opportunity to help her brother start a new life, but for those who attended the party, there are mixed emotions and the past is hard to look back on. Jörke was once a member of the German Red Army. This group was deeply influenced by ultra-leftist trends and originated from the 1968 student movement in West Germany. It developed into a violent terrorist organization in the 1970s and caused many kidnappings and murders that shocked the world in the 1970s and 1980s. Jörke was a participant in these terrorist incidents. The gathering with Yorke brought all kinds of choices and judgments that seemed to have gone away before everyone again. How should York face the people around him and how should he understand today's world? During the three-day gathering, York, his lawyer, his "revolutionary comrade", his former lover, his son who had lost contact for many years, everyone's performance, words, demeanor, mood... Things have changed, not only York, everyone is looking for their own position again, everyone is once again faced with the confusion of dreams, responsibilities, sins, forgiveness, friendship, moral judgment, and today's world facing new terrorist threats makes these more than just retrospectives.
