"No one has ever written so beautifully about the absurdities in this life." (Elke Heidenreich) Germany, 1980: Growing up in Bremen's desolate, philistine new district of Neue Vahr Süd, Frank Lehmann is faced with a real problem for the first time in his life: he has simply forgotten to refuse military service. And while he is now supposed to learn to stand at attention and unconditional obedience in the barracks, his friends are already rehearsing the proletarian world revolution. And it gets worse, because moving from home to a chaotic shared apartment confronts Frank with existential questions such as: Who does the dishes? And: Who is actually allowed to kiss Sibille? The grandiose prequel to 'Herr Lehmann'. Biography
