A family is torn apart by their dream of a better future in the West. A true story narrated through the eyes of a child.
West Germany, early 1960s: A little girl arrives with her parents from East Germany in a camp for displaced people. The girl's father is abusive, the mother ignores her. Soon she will celebrate her seventh birthday and all she wants is a cat. Instead she receives an illuminated globe. The girl can't hide her disappointment - but then she discovers that the globe offers her a way to escape the misery of the camp.
One of Germany's most successful authors, Birgit Vanderbeke was born in Dahme in 1956, and grew up in Frankfurt, when her family fled from East Germany to the West. She has won 5 prestigious literary awards, and written twenty-one novels.
