Von morgens bis mitternachts

A restless bank cashier, dissatisfied with his narrow life, becomes obsessed after a brief encounter with a wealthy woman and, driven by longing for passion and meaning, steals a large sum. He abandons his family and wanders through varied urban scenes—nightclubs, cinemas, and religious gatherings—searching for fulfillment. His escapades expose the hollowness of consumer society, the futility of escapist fantasies, and the destructive clash between personal desire and social order. Presented in expressionist, episodic scenes, the play traces his psychological unraveling from routine through temptation to a tragic conclusion, dramatizing modern alienation and the search for authentic experience.
