Krátky popis
When Robert Walter, popular Mayor of Amsterdam, sees his wife toss
her head back in laughter while chatting to one of his aldermen at
a New Year's reception, he immediately suspects the worst.Despite
their long and happy marriage, Robert is convinced that Sylvia is
cheating on him - and with the straitlaced alderman, no less, who
is committed to the environment and wants to spoil the capital's
skyline with wind turbines.Soon afterwards, a journalist produces a
photograph of a police officer being beaten up by three protesters
during a demonstration against the Vietnam War. She claims that the
mayor is one of the protesters. Then, out of the blue, Robert's
ninety-four-year-old father turns up on the steps of the city hall,
desperate to speak to him. He and his wife want to die together.
They do not want to burden their son with their deteriorating
health, so why not end their own lives when the time is
right?Herman Koch's The Ditch shows how a seemingly stable man can
quickly become increasingly entangled in his own fears and
suspicions. Or is everything not what it seems - is Robert Walter
actually seeing things clearly for the very first time?
