    Wandernutten

    In “WANDERNUTTEN”, Theresia Walser explores the relations between the sexes with a light touch and a sure instinct for comedy. On the one hand, she shows a group of men who sit around drinking: Albert, who feels it is best not to have anything to do with women; Olaf, who is happy when he is not allowed to smoke; Rainer, who dreams of women’s feet; and Georg, who will bet anything his wife is faithful. On the other hand, the author contrasts these men with four women in a hotel bar.More ...

    Die Heldin von Potsdam ("The Heroine of Potsdam")

    The action is based on a real occurrence in 1994.

After several days of media attention, making the most of this supposedly heroic deed, she admitted she had not told the truth. More ...
