Opis

"No man can escape his own history." This sentiment deeply resonates with Hartmann and Fibich, who arrived in England via the Kindertransport as war orphans, feeling like outsiders in an unfamiliar world. Despite the passage of time, their bond remains unbroken. Not only do they operate a thriving business together, but they are also inextricably linked by the fragile remnants of their earlier lives. Hartmann's outwardly impeccable demeanor masks the memories he is determined to bury, while Fibich is haunted by fears and anxieties that force him to constantly relive the past. Their enduring friendship supports them as they navigate their roles as husbands, fathers, and men over the years. Yet, the moment inevitably arrives when Fibich must confront his past by returning to Berlin, revisiting the train station that marks the last place he saw his mother.
