Published within the framework of the project of teenagers’ (anti)utopia To the Touch by Goethe-Institut Ukraine

Translated by Anna Savchenko

Birth - School - Work - Death: this scenario is not interesting for the six friends. 

They move together to the Auerhaus and organize a student shared flat in the village.
They want to save not only their lives, but especially their best friend Frieder. Because he is not so sure why he should live at all. 

What is the real life?

What is the real friendship?

What is love? 
They are looking for the answers from the first page to the last one. Like we do. 

In 2019 this book will be filmed.

The novel is also recommended in German schools for reading, and Bjerg himself says that he felt himself to be a writer only after the departure of Auerhaus. 
I was really excited to illustrate such a special book. Highly recommend to read it if you have an opportunity. 

Thank you for watching!
