A man returns from captivity.
Beckmann is his name. He returns hoping for a new beginning. After his return, he encounters person after person. He sees many doors. Many of them he recognizes. Yet one door after another closes before him. And in the end, he must always remain outside. Beckmann returns from the war without a first name and tormented by the question of responsibility. The boundaries between reality and nightmare blur.

The drama "Draußen vor der Tür," written by Wolfgang Borchert in just eight days, was understood in 1947 as the "outcry of an entire generation." With its linguistic density and poetic power, the play is considered a literary masterpiece that has lost none of its relevance in the face of wars and refugee flows.

"Draußen vor der Tür" depicts a timeless story of people returning from wars, wounded and in many ways physically and mentally scarred and broken. Beckmann is one of them and represents a figure that transcends historical placement. He struggles against the destructive power of war and its consequences, completely alienated from the world.
