Wann ist bald?

Leon is ten years old and lives with his mother in a small apartment. He takes on many responsibilities, from household tasks to being his mother's emotional support. He cannot live his childhood in an age-appropriate manner because his mother, due to her psychological problems, is unable to fulfill her duties. Leon's life is marked by the unpredictability and emotional fluctuations of his mother. There is no room for his own needs; the stability—or rather instability—of his mother is always the focal point. For him, taking on parental tasks such as shopping, cleaning, and doing laundry is second nature—he knows no different. (Text: HTL Salzburg)
