"Peppermint heaven" - a love story
1980 East Berlin. Charlotte is actually just looking for a place to sleep undisturbed with her boyfriend from West Berlin. Running away and going over there is out of the question for her. Her exit strategy is different. Charlotte doesn't want to grow old, thirty at the most. Live fast, love hard, die young. Just don't get tied down. Especially not to someone who's hanging on to his former happiness. But of all people, there's a free room at his place.

"We have sown the wind" - lyrics from 40 years ago
An immortal movie scene: Rick and Ilsa on the airfield of CASABLANCA. Forty years later, a man says goodbye to his wife and son. They are flying to Canada and he will probably never see them again. The world is divided and the man lives in East Berlin. He writes a poem that he calls CASABLANCA. The poem becomes a song. The song becomes a hit. But its author remains unknown. Only after the end of the GDR does the author's name become public:
ALFRED ROESLER-KLEINT
wrote screenplays and poems, many of which became song lyrics. The ARD series USEDOM-KRIMI was watched by an average of six million viewers. His most recent release was the album GENAUSO WAR'S by CITY frontman Toni Krahl.
TOBIAS BURGER accompanies the reading with Roesler-Kleint settings and songs by the band CITY.
Tickets are available from the Stralsund Tourist Office, online via Reservix and at the box office.
