The front side of the kitchen table is covered like any other day. On the chair is a large brown Teddy bear sitting. A plate, a colorful painted Egg stand in front of them a unicorn, made of chestnuts and matches put together. In the coffee Cup next to it is a full bottle of coke out of plastic. “Actually, you should not drink Cola, you could go there and back already,” says Uwe L., 59. It’s Ronja’s is the place. A year and a half after her death, she still fills the room, and the memories of your father, as probably never before. Because he can’t say goodbye to him. “She wanders through my head, through my heart,” he says. “And that’s bullshit, because: they have no home.”
12. June was a very ordinary late spring day in Berlin. According to all the rules of probability he would have been the same for Ronja L., for your father Uwe L. and her mother, Jeanette K., 56,.

The steel wheels separate two fingers from Ronja’s Hand, before they come to a standstill. The body of the child falls in the gravel bed, between the tracks, caught by the Tram.
A few minutes before the two girls were still there, in Jeanette K. s apartment, you have prepared a presentation on eating disorders. Actually, the mother had proposed to pick up the Pizza immediately, but Ronja says: “First work, then pleasure”, the next day you need to hold the unit.
