Rezension von JennySuper schön geschrieben, habe mir so viel markiert. Teils mag man es gar nicht aus der Hand liegen. Vor allem im 1. Teil. Und schöne Darstellung der engen Verbindung dieser entstehenden Familie - und gleichzeitig die Unterschiedlichkeit in der Verarbeitung des Todes. Auch den Kinofilm dazu kann ich sehr empfehlen. Tolle schauspielerische Leistung :)
