»Here we bid farewell and let mourning take place […] If there is an accusation, it will not be voiced.« –Robert Lorenz

The old lady knows all the best places to pick blueberries, and she also knows the right way to preserve them. She loves the ancient beech tree, and also the area, which she knows like the back of her hand. The open-cast lignite mine relentlessly devours the forest of the Muskau Heath, moving ever closer to the village of Rohne, where the two Sorbian protagonists Edith and Christian Penk live. A tragic story from Lusetia.
