A Berlin winter day, it is December 24th, the night of lonely people. The parents of a twelve-year-old boy forgot to fetch him from the airport kindergarten, and the temp kindergarten teacher only knows stories about horrible accidents and catastrophes. But then the boy meets a little girl whose parents didn’t come either. And the young couple sets out into the Berlin night that is inhabited by people who love and hate, who find and lose each other. The two kids try to remember that famous story that has turned this night a unique hysterical-depressive party…

A play about the search for love in cold and hard times.

“Radio announcer: …is the coldest day since 1827…minus 34 degree Celsius since last Friday…temperatures will probably keep on falling over the holidays.
