Die Ratten (Gerhart Hauptmann)

In the organizer's words:

Berlin, before the First World War: Mrs. John desperately longs for a child. In order to fulfill her wish, she buys the newborn from young Pauline, who is forced to give the child away due to her precarious circumstances. When she wants the child back, this triggers a chain of tragic events that have a lasting impact on the lives of all those involved. "Die Ratten" is set in a run-down Berlin tenement building and focuses on the social ills of the 1910s and highlights the human weaknesses of the main characters.
