EditWestern (2017)

I dramaet “Western” følger vi en gruppe tyske bygningsarbejdere, som får job i Bulgariens øde landområde. Mens det fremmede land både vækker en vis eventyrlyst, giver sprogbarriererne og kulturforskellene også anledning til fordomme og mistillid blandt bygningsarbejderne – kun den midaldrende Meinhard synes at forstå de lokales ønsker og må tage kampen med sine kollegaer. Langsomt begynder alle at tilpasse sig og faktisk kæmpe om de lokales anerkendelse.

Meinhard is a member of group of German construction workers who start a very difficult project in an isolated part of rural Bulgaria. Being far from any civilization and in a foreign land makes the men adventurous and a bit careless. Soon one thing leads to another and they see their prejudice challenged and the trust in each other – broken. The Germans jump into confusing situations, created by the language barrier and cultural differences between them and the local people. One night, when Meinhard is abandoned by his fellow workers, he gets into the car of gang of Bulgarians. What happens next is rather unexpected for both parties.
