Scherbentanz<br />
Jesko is in his mid-thirties and is a born cynic. He has leukemia and not much longer to<br />
live. An unsuccessful fashion designer, he is the opposite of his brother, Ansgar, who is<br />
the junior boss in their father’s factory. Jesko is lured to his bourgeois family’s villa under<br />
a false pretense – his life is to be saved. His mother is a possible bone marrow donor –<br />
but Jesko refuses her help because years ago, she attempted to kill him and his brother.<br />
Jesko and his mother have not seen each other since then.<br />
A partly bizarre and tragic family feud unravels around dark secrets, psychic devastation<br />
and the horrible feeling of insoluble solidarity. A battle into which Jesko is ultimately<br />
drawn – to find love.<br />
