Karat

Why it was named after a volcano, Etna does not know. She is only truly explosive when she has to endure injustices - as a goldsmith, the dirty gold trade particularly gets under her skin. But now, looking at the pregnancy test, there is a completely different line that disturbs her. Svenja, on the other hand, loves to make lists, and even more so, she enjoys ticking off each item one by one. Today, picking up the wedding rings is on the agenda, as her wedding is planned for three weeks from now. What isn’t on her list is that she is about to embark on a road trip with a goldsmith named Etna. Two women in a car, singing along to their youth songs, heading towards the first potential father - because Etna cannot possibly handle the child alone, especially since she has promised to put all her energy into fair gold. Soon, the two realize that they share much more than just the year they were born. With a lot of wit and drive, Karin Rey tells the story of breaking free from the discomfort in the world as it is. Something has to change, that much is clear - and so the two begin to dig for a good father, uproot neophytes, and already know how to set up a fair production line. A committed yet weightless debut.
