How do you go on living when you've already finished with life?

In "Rauh verdorri! Hier starwt Lothar", based on a play by Ruth Toma and translated into Low German by Kerstin Stoelting, dry humor meets profound questions about life.

🔹 The story:
Lothar, a grumpy tile dealer, is divorced, at odds with his daughter and not much of a philanthropist. After a fatal diagnosis, he says goodbye to his old life and moves into a hospice. There he meets Rosa, who, like him, is struggling with her own fate - and an unexpected friendship develops. He also manages to reconcile with his daughter Mira. But then things take a turn: The diagnosis was wrong. Lothar will not die. But what happens now that he has already said goodbye to everything?
