Fast ganz nah (euer Krieg ist unser Krieg)

Separated from her husband and alienated from her son, Louise tries to make a comeback as a sculptor. She creates a sculpture depicting a group of soldiers who lost their lives in Afghanistan. While Kevin, who models for Louise, begins an affair with her, the sculpture seems to come to life and to anticipate the future: With pitch-black humour, the apparently dead soldiers look to the hills of the Afghan city that they defended. All in vain – death already has them in its grip. In her drama “almost near”, Carter has written a thrilling piece of political literature that throws up questions of the social responsibility of the individual.
