Her voice is broken by a tracheotomy. She needed it when she awoke from a four-week coma (Or was it longer? She can’t remember) following a heroin overdose. A guardian angel had pursued her into a public toilet and called the emergency doctor, who managed to revive her. She was seventeen at the time. Abused by her stepfather as a child, betrayed by her mother, she grew up in care homes and around the station at Berlin-Zoo. At some point, she washed up on “K” – Kurfürstenstrasse, a red light district haunted by addicts.

Her first thought as she woke up was »No more drugs!« Now she is twenty-one. The radio feature Jenny is built entirely around her voice, the sound of rasping breath as a young woman looks back on an old life.
