"A man comes to Germany. One of those who come home and then don't come home after all, because there's no home for them anymore. And their home is then outside the door." Wolfgang Borchert uses simple words to describe the fate of Beckmann, a war veteran who no longer has a place to live. He visits his wife, who has found another partner; he goes to see his former colonel, who denies all responsibility; and he introduces himself to a cabaret director who finds his songs too dark. Wherever Beckmann turns, no one listens to him; he has been undermined by the war, his existence destroyed. He feels alone with his trauma, yet he is one of countless others – and it could have happened to anyone.
