Neben Fremden

Eva Schmidt tells a poignant and sober story about farewell and loss, but also about the search for connection and closeness. Rosa was a nurse, and since her retirement, she has had little contact with people. Her only friend is a former colleague, while her neighbors keep their distance, even though she just wants to help. Her relationship with her mother has never been good and worsens as her mother becomes dependent on help and tries to take more and more from her daughter. There is also a man in her life, but he is married. When he unexpectedly dies, Rosa is left with only the camper van he once gave her. But what is she supposed to do with it? Is it a chance for a different life, perhaps the last one? When she dares to set off, she receives a letter from her son, who cut off contact with her years ago. He wanted nothing to do with her – now she at least knows where he lives.
