Das einfache Leben

Two sisters embark on a new beginning. A novel for nature and rose lovers. Sisters Adele and Elisabeth Kohlbrenner leave their homeland at a young age to partake in the spirit of the economic miracle. However, in the middle of their lives, they regret having severed their roots and sought happiness in places where it could not be found. They return to Dachsberg in the Southern Black Forest and decide to make an old dream come true: their dream of a rose garden. Together, they cultivate a fallow land in the hills, precisely where their brother's packaging company once stood before it had to close due to an environmental scandal. Adele and Elisabeth want to return this land to nature and create the most beautiful rose garden in the Black Forest. Everyone who knows anything about it advises them against it: the altitude is not suitable for roses, and the soil is too stony. Yet, the two remain undeterred. A very emotional, profound, and also humorous novel about home, women's lives, rediscovery, and making decisions. An exceptionally successful portrayal of local cinema.
