Description:

A secluded vacation home on the French Atlantic coast: here, Elena intends to spend three carefree weeks with her children. Her husband has remained behind in Germany; their marriage is on the rocks. To help out, Elena has brought along Eve--a babysitter--as well as a friend of her thirteen-year-old daughter. Yet what begins as a relaxed getaway soon faces mounting threats, both from without and within: the parched forests are ablaze, uninvited guests appear, and conflicts escalate--fueled by jealousy, mistrust, and codependencies--until, suddenly, one of the girls goes missing. "Drei Wochen im August" is an intense chamber piece set in the heat of summer. Everything appears harmonious on the surface, yet dark abysses lurk beneath the idyllic façade. A thoughtless remark, a false suspicion--and the intricate web of relationships threatens to unravel. Nina Bußmann tells this story with profound psychological insight and a keen sense for building suspense.
