Schnitz

In the shadow of extinguished blast furnaces, a small light glows in the darkness of twilight in front of the Kummer family's house. The mother, Rose Chagrin, née Chance, and her husband Nathanael Kummer, anxiously await the visit of the commissioner, the enforcer of power. Rents are skyrocketing, Nathanael works around the clock, and Rose Chagrin peddles vitamin cures. Everyone in the household tries in their own way to stand up to the Moloch. The old Seraphin wanders aimlessly in search of the black man he wants to confront; philanthropy, the voluminous, wood-chopping Ariensängerin, sings under the watchful eyes of her guardian angels, enchanting the people in the neighborhood, while Yapaklu and Zibeline, the siblings, secure their toys: in the realm of the giant, which is located in a French fry vending machine.
