Echo of silent wishes

In spite of many strategies apparently designed to create tolerance and to build bridges among the different people around the world, very little seems to have been achieved in this respect. “Echo of Silent Wishes” is all about the truth expressed in the words of wisdom of Josh Billings: “Wisdom don’t consist in knowing more that is new but in knowing less that is false”. The story of Heide and Abu is more than just the story of a failed marriage. It stands as an example for the problems that can occur in interracial relationships and for the traces left behind especially in the children of such families. It shows the impacts of cultural differences in multicultural homes and the challenges of illegal or legal migration and its social impacts and injustices. And last but not least, it is a very personal story about a good love and mutual responsibility in a relationship that, if neglected, must necessarily go bad. Thus, it tells a truth which, according to Herbert Agar, is the kind of „truth that makes men free“, but „is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear”. Yet, it is just this what enables us to see things from a different perspective and in this way to „know less that is false“.
