Ghosting

In conversation with those affected and experts, Tina Soliman sheds light on the unforeseen extent to which ghosting has already taken hold today. Why is it spreading so rapidly worldwide and in Germany? The expert on the topic of contact abandonment allows both ghosting victims and ghosts to speak, showing how interpersonal relationships are endangered or destroyed by ghosting. Ghosting victims movingly recount how the silence affects them, as if they were dealing with a ghost or apparition from the vanished individuals. Was the other person even there? Was it all just imagination? Clara is suddenly abandoned by her boyfriend Julius. His phone is disconnected, his emails bounce back, and after a few weeks, she realizes that he meticulously planned his disappearance for months. Suddenly, she is left with nothing. Yet, those who are ghosted must continue to live as if the abrupt silence, this complete and sudden separation, never happened. Our digitized everyday life facilitates this alarming development. With great empathy, Tina Soliman uncovers the backgrounds against which the phenomenon of ghosting plays out.
