Unruhe

A sense of unease pervades the small, secluded village of “Ruhe”, somewhere deep in the mountains. A place where nothing ever changes and where nothing is ever meant to change. But then, suddenly, a huge hole opens up in the middle of the picturesque market square, and conspiracy theories begin to spread. With striking and clear strokes, Sarah Hübner describes in a deeply emotional way how a secluded little village, symbolic of our entire society, tries to cope with unforeseeable events. With precision and finesse, she presents us with a wide variety of characters who react in very personal, angry, fearful, absurd, political, thoughtful or simply wise ways. Together with the protagonist, the postwoman arriving from outside, we ourselves have the opportunity to ask: what would we do if an irreversible change stood in our way? With wit and charm, Sarah Hübner takes us by the hand and shows us ways to cope with even heavy burdens together.
