Released 21 years ago.

Rose is in her early forties and a single mother of three – supposedly – adult sons: Bernd, 23, earns money for the family during the day at a copy shop and in the evenings at a pub; Axi, 21, is training at a bank; and the youngest, Stan, who will soon turn 18, is skipping high school and would rather smoke weed and pursue a career as a DJ. Rose led a wild life as a squatter in the early 1980s, but that came to an abrupt end when she separated from Jürgen, the father of her three boys, more than ten years ago. They have had no contact since then. Rose moved into her grandfather's house with her three sons and now earns a living writing pulp fiction. And then there's her new boyfriend, Gerhard. She doesn't dare introduce him to her sons and doesn't know herself whether he's the right one.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
