Der Müll, die Stadt und der Tod / Nur eine Scheibe Brot

The first and last play by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. "Just a Slice of Bread," the debut of the then 21-year-old author, tells the story of director Hans Fricke, who is making a feature film about Auschwitz. The more he delves into the horror, the further he distances himself from friends and family, culminating in a breakup with his girlfriend.

The city is Frankfurt. The instrument.".
