Life After

Duisburg, 24th July 2010. On the way to the Love Parade, 21 people from seven different countries die, most of them young. Thirteen women and eight men. Hundreds of techno music fans are injured or traumatized. They had their whole lives ahead of them. These real life events provide the backdrop for this drama. Antonia Schneider was 17, just about to leave school, and all she wanted to do was party, when she happened to be in the ‘tunnel’ at the Love Parade. Seven years later, she is still traumatized and unable to live a normal life. Her father Thomas, her stepmother Kati and her best friend Betty are slowly starting to lose patience with her, and - despite their best efforts - can’t cope with Antonia’s behavior. But then Antonia meets a taxi driver, Sascha Reinhardt , who also claims to have been at the Love Parade, and to have been a victim of what happened. He seems to be understanding and to have feelings for her. But then she exposes him as a liar, and he becomes the target of a destructive maelstrom of her emotions.
