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 />
