Hubertus Meyer-Burckhardt: "Die Sonne scheint immer. Für die Wolken kann ich nichts."

A life lived at full throttle - rebellious, unconventional, brimming with joy and remarkable courage. That is how Hubertus Meyer-Burckhardt, TV producer, bestselling author and host of the NDR-Talkshow, remembers his beloved grandmother, the person who shaped him more than anyone else.

How did she cope with a world that collapsed around her not once but twice? What did she pass on to her grandson? In a series of autobiographical episodes, Meyer-Burckhardt tells the story of a woman who was ahead of her time.

The result is a tender declaration of love and a search for the driving forces behind his own life.
