Krasnoborst

Krasnoborst - the theater of the last great war – seems to live on eternally in the soldier Sergej. Even at home he cannot find peace of mind. The conflict never ended for him. But is it just delusion or is he suffering from a post war trauma? Sergej is unable to live a normal life. He's trapped, struggling with broken relationships that are symptoms of his shattered mind. Sergej hopes that the liquor will bring relief, but instead he has to quarrel with the consequences of alcoholism. He is blind for any sense of life. For him everyone is suspicious, even his own wife Anuschka. He is facing treachery, deceit, or sheer ignorance everywhere. All his warnings of the evil of war remain unheard, while the tragic end seems to be inevitable.
