In sensitively told stories, David Stöhr and the ensemble convey to children and children of mentally ill parents that they are not alone in their situation – and that everything they feel and think is okay. They also show, however, where the limits of children's agency lie, and how beneficial it can be for both children and parents to seek help.

Reality check: Who are Schiller's robbers? Are there still marauding gangs among us today, living in forests and lying in wait to rob and even murder? No! We have our police, after all... Yes! But they've just moved their hiding places. Perhaps the club is their new nighttime hideout. By day, they chain themselves to trees and fences in all kinds of weather. They stick themselves to the streets while airing their grievances on social media.

The year is 1868. The latest newspaper reports tell of the mysterious disappearance of ships on the high seas! Where have the ships gone? Young explorers Nadine and Pierre have many theories about what could be behind it: Is there a monster in the sea? Is this monster eating the ships? Who has seen the monster? A giant prehistoric octopus, a whirlpool?
