Description
To assert oneself at all costs, or to be true to oneself and give up all ambitions? Young artist Petra balances between the desire for success and the rejection of all creativity. Memories of studying painting and buried personal trauma emerge in her like sharply cut reliefs. And then there is the grim present, the monotonous work as a cashier in a supermarket, which she resorts to for pragmatic reasons. Her inner struggles are confronted with the ruthless worlds of retail, the art scene, and her (mostly uneven) romantic battles. Her passion for authenticity drives the heroine to the limits of self-expression, relationships, and ultimately, the law. A story about the fragility of a contemporary young woman who inevitably crashes into the glass of globalized alienation, her own loneliness, and fate. "In the end, there is nothing but strength," concludes the successful author in her first prose work, who has previously drawn attention with her remarkable connections of current themes and genres.
