Theater Espelkamp - Die Bücherinsel

The members of a quirky reading circle on a North Sea island love extremely diverse stories: From Irish novels to horror to high literature, everything is included. Cleaner and beach chair renter Sandra Malien also knows and loves countless novels. When she joins the reading group, she presents a text by an unknown Danish author who writes about the colors and landscapes of the north. Everyone is deeply moved and certain that Sandra is in fact an artist. Especially as she knows the famous publisher Meinhard Gerke, who is expecting a bestselling American author on the island. Sandra's behavior becomes increasingly erratic; she behaves strangely and contradictorily. The Danish author doesn't exist either... At some point, her energetic façade collapses and reveals a huge problem that she has been avoiding all her life and that nobody would have expected.
