'Die Zweite Heimat': The title is not meant to indicate a continuation of 'Heimat', but rather it refers to that place which we, as adults, find: the place we choose of free will and which we call our second home. Profession, friendships and the family we ourselves establish comprise this home we choose. It is based on decisions we ourselves make. But love, friendship and profession are values which decay very easily. In our second home, we live on very unsure ground. We don´t want to give up our demand to be free, which is also dangerous to all of our commitments. The second home is always a temporary one. As the main character I chose Hermann, the young man who leaves Schabbach after his family has destroyed his first love. As mentioned in 'Heimat', he goes to a big city to study music. At his side, we enter the decade which he needs in order to become an adult: the sixties. Along with Hermann, we meet the other characters who are trying to realize their dreams in the city: young musicians, filmmakers, actors, writers – young artists, who, as in the past, have always felt drawn to a city like Munich. This little group used to be called Bohemians. Whereas 'Heimat' described childhood, the small town and family life, 'Die Zweite Heimat' tells the story of growing up, of life in the big city, of friendship and love. Love is one of the main themes, because young artists cultivate love, are in love with love and devote their works to it: their songs, poems, paintings and films. Episode 1: 'The Time of the First Songs' How Hermann leaves his home town Sxhabbach and comes to Munich to study music. How right away on the first day he makes friends with other students how he falls in love and he starts to fight against this love. The year is 1960.
