Theatre for life! It is the story of a young man who has a nightmare. He sees his parents fighting, gets in trouble with his teachers, looses his girl friend, can’t get in contact with his friends, tries to get drugs …and finally finds himself totally lost and alone. Two clowns appear and offer him to play the whole story again with a red nose. This is the impulse for him accept failure and to get out of his depression and become open for life again.
