Fiebelkorn
by Matthias Lanin
After the Second World War Johanna Lettmann and Wilfried Fiebelkorn were among the Germans expelled from Hinterpommern. When Wilfried Fiebelkorn returns to his Hanna after five years as a prisoner of war in England, they marry. In the dictatorship, which calls itself socialist, they begin a common life. 50 years later they had four daughters, one of them lost to cancer and their home lost to flames. They experience the turning point and reunification together. After half a century Willi and Hanna still love each other, but how can it go on for the other, when one of them will no longer be, when the love of life is missing? And which world does one feel closer to, that of the dead or that of the living?
