Can you forgive your boyfriend’s infidelity? The failure of your alcoholic mother? Can you forgive the person who knocked you about; can you forgive your sister who slept with your husband, the person who talked behind your back? Can you forgive the rapist, the murderer, the terrorist? Those who failed you when you needed them most? Can you forgive yourself? The playwright behind the successful play My name is Bente has created an unsentimental theatrical text about choices in life and forgiveness. A young man follows his mother and the lives of her two friends. He becomes witness to their experiences with suicide, infidelity and implacability, but also to tenderness and love. All this while he himself is struggling to find meaning in a world which frightens him more than anything else.
