Clowns are more than jesters; they hold a mirror up to society. They move between the worlds and like to break rules, albeit with a wink. At the same time, clowns are contradiction experts by nature, because they know on the one hand that life is far too short to be sad, and on the other hand use their art not only to entertain us but to make oppression and violence visible and attackable.

Sabine wants a child. Michael already has one. A family. A perfectly normal wish and precisely because it is so easy, but not so easy to fulfill today. So what do you do when one partner wants a child and the other one maybe does or in fact doesn't? Split up? What does a child mean for a relationship? What does the wish and the urging do to a relationship? A relationship which works so easily, just as long as neither half really wants something. Sabine makes a decision and Michael can finally say what he feels.
