Shattered Glass

Invited to his father's mansion for a party, Jesko is enraged to discover that the invitation is a bold deception. He has leukemia, and his father and brother Ansgar are hoping that a bone-marrow transplant from his long-lost mother might save him. When her bone-marrow proves unsuitable, she reveals the painful secret which could be the only alternative left for Jesko - his father's illegitimate child. Now Jesko is forced to recognise that his father would rather sacrifice him than endanger his bourgeois facade.
