Trivia
"...The father-son story represents the core. Around this an extremely complex web develops in which everything’s interconnected - which is our ideal. We’ll see whether things can be realized this way. My objective is a universal, emotionally comprehensible father-son story that describes a social milieu from the inside rather than the outside."
