Synopsis
Freedom and loneliness are very close to each other. Exactly like joy and sadness, screams and speechlessness, violence and tenderness, agression and helplessness.

HEILE WELT gives an insight into four mercilessly fates that are closely connected. Without embellishing we accompany the characters, almost documental, through their day, night and "the day after".
True to anecdotes and own experiences a written basis of dramaturgically entwined, however fragmentary snapshots, for production was developed. Just with the entanglement of the single episodes the central topics complexity increase. Isolation in the urban crowd due to the lack of communication.
