In the first part of René's biography, Emilie from 'Crime scene: Parental Home' recounts the terrible experiences of her second half-brother René. Unlike Lars, Emilie's first half-brother, he did not take his own life. Like his older brother Lars, René experiences abuse and torture at the hands of his stepfather in the GDR in the 1970s. For his sadistic stepfather Bert, violence is always a solution. For him, child abuse is part of everyday life. René is scalded with hot water by Bert. He also threatens his grandparents with a knife because he doesn't want to leave and go home. René also often has to watch his older brother Lars being sexually abused in the cellar. At the time, however, he is too young to realize that this is sexual abuse. The biography is based on true events that make you sad, angry and saddened. They reveal the incomprehensible suffering of little René in his parents' home, in the children's home and with his foster family.
