Every year in August, a brilliant spectacle takes place in the night sky. Countless shooting stars from the constellation of Perseus cast a spell over the insomniacs and tempt even the most enlightened mind to make a wish. But what to wish for? Justice for all or money for a new cast iron skillet? A secure job or the fulfillment of a childhood dream? Truth, or isn't it enough that others believe you? "Wahrhalsig" asks these questions. In the end, a single answer remains: not everything that comes true was wished for.
