DON'T ASK FOR SUGAR - THE COMPLETE EDITION

Chris grows up as the fifth of six brothers in a strict, noisy household in Stuttgart – five years in a boys’ seminary, constant school changes, harsh rules, early jobs and two apprenticeships. A life that makes him rebellious and awakens in him one desire: get out into the world. 🌍🔥

His departure begins when he lands in Sri Lanka completely unprepared – his brother Ralf has disappeared somewhere in South India. Sri Lanka throws Chris into uncertainty, Thailand into temptation, and he stumbles from one adventure to the next. 🌴✈️

Then something happens that changes everything:
In Bangkok he meets Suzanne, a beautiful, well-travelled New Zealander 🇳🇿🥝.
One week on Koh Samet becomes a quiet miracle – warmth, conversations, closeness, lightness. A love ❤️ that enters his life deeply without warning.

Months later, the two are living together in Australia – until a seer foretells Suzanne’s future and senses a dark prophecy around Chris: dark forces, sinister demons, severe trials. Shortly afterwards, Suzanne leaves him – and Chris collapses inside. 💔

He hitchhikes 12,000 km across Australia 🏜️, survives a brutal attack in Cairns, works on a diving boat – until his visa runs out.

A phone call changes everything once again:
Ralf is back in India. Chris follows him, survives severe food poisoning 🤒 and experiences an eerie night in Bhopal: classical music, a man in black, an atmosphere like from another world. 🌑🎼

Soon after, Chris is robbed on the train – passport gone, money gone, everything gone. 🎒❌
Only with Ralf’s help does he make it back to Germany and immediately flees to West Berlin to avoid mandatory military service.

There, as if by a miracle, he finds a flat and a job. His only goal: save enough to see Suzanne again. 💙
But a year at the CNC lathe brings him nowhere – while Ralf once again smuggles hashish to Frankfurt.

Chris makes a fatal decision:
He flies via East Berlin to Nepal, buys 1 kilo of hashish and 300 grams of hash oil in the Himalayas – and is arrested by the East German authorities on the return flight. ✈️🚨
