A Fine Couple
Gert Loschütz
After his father’s death, adult son Philipp remembers his parents’ relationship, which began optimistically shortly after the Second World War in the former GDR and was doomed to failure in the end when they fled to West Germany. What was the cause of this failure and why did Herta leave her husband and son behind? She only kept in irregular contact with Philip via postcards.
