Victor Schefé

In the organizer's words:

Tassilo wants to get out - out of the confines of Rostock and into the free life of West Berlin. He leaves in 1986, despite his mother's threats. Three years later, the Wall came down - and with it a truth that changed everything. From letters, diary entries, childhood memories and Stasi files, Victor Schefé creates a novel that glows with energy.
