DAHEIM
HOME
Heiko is in his early 30’s, the son of a peasant family. When
he loses his job in his village in the Erzgebirge (the Ore
Mountains) he moves to the next big city. But there he is a
mere observer of city life and remains alone in spite of his
new job. When he realizes his interchangeability once more,
he makes a decision.
