Max Moor

Description

At the end of World War II, Gerti loses everything: her father, who disappears, her mother, who dies, and her two sisters, who are sent to a home. She remains alone with her grandparents. Only three buttons remain with her, torn from an old vest from her BDM days, intended as a lucky charm for her sisters. In a still-destroyed Austria, the girl must learn early to survive alone and to defend her dignity against all societal prejudices of the time. But she never gives up the search for her sisters.
In 2010, Gerti finally looks back on her life: on work, children, love, and loss. She thinks: It was not a beautiful life. But it was mine. Max Moor is an actor, presenter, and author. He became widely known through his moderation of the award-winning media magazine Canale Grande on VOX and the ARD culture magazine titel, thesen, temperamente. He lives near Berlin.
