Synopsis

A miracle of memory, a triumph of autobiographical literature
The first memory is a flickering black and white film: Winter 1945, a flying attack on a train the child survives. Twenty years later, the child has become a young medical student who dissects corpses in the anatomy of Graz University and secretly hangs first writing attempts. In between, a life unfolds in unforgettable stories and exemplary scenes: masterfully and from the overwhelming richness of memory, Gerhard Roth tells of the troubles caused by parents, school and religion, but also of the escape to the wonder worlds of cinema and literature and the happiness of meeting people who change their own life forever.
With sincerity and dedication, Gerhard Roth tells about the riddle of childhood and the dare of growing up: of the discovery of one's own self and the way to life, from the passage of time and the miracle of memory.
