Incest: Forbidden Love Between Siblings | How Far Can Love Go? Episode 5
Love is allowed to do anything – right? But what happens when someone falls in love with their own half-brother and an #incestuous relationship develops?
In this episode of the series "How Far Can Love Go?" Frank meets Caro, who was in a relationship with her half-brother for three years. She doesn't want to be recognized in our video – she fears the reactions. In Germany, intimate contact (more precisely: vaginal intercourse) between siblings/half-siblings is punishable by law, and these relationships are also highly controversial in social debate. Frank wants to know: How did the two fall in love with each other? And how did this incestuous love develop?
Caro tells Frank that she only met her then 24-year-old half-brother when she was 16 and that she didn't know anything about him for a long time. Gradually, a friendly relationship developed – although typical sibling feelings didn't arise. However, their affection for each other grew with each meeting – until the two confessed their love.
The time that followed was difficult for both of them, Caro says. They were madly in love – but at the same time full of self-doubt, insecurities, and the knowledge: "We're not allowed to do this!" Nevertheless, they chose their love and an incestuous relationship.
For a long time, the two lived out their relationship in secret – but at some point, the family noticed that they were extremely close. Caro then confided in her mother, who told her about her relationship with her half-brother. The reaction: shaking heads and incomprehension, Caro says. The rest of the family also couldn't understand this relationship and was strictly against it.
You can find out how the half-siblings dealt with this situation and what Caro thinks about the incestuous relationship today in our new episode: "Incest: Forbidden Love Between Siblings."

This is The Question:
There are these big, tricky questions that have no easy answers: Why do we bully? Why do we let animals suffer? Do we drink too much? Or: What does porn do to us?
My team and I are interested in questions that directly relate to our lives, but also in topics that are important to all of us and are often only discussed superficially.
We search for answers to these questions, week after week – openly, honestly, and independently. We don't meet experts for this, but rather we are there: at the slaughterhouse, at the swinger party, while proselytizing in the pedestrian zone.
And because we want to gain insight into as many perspectives as possible in our search, a question always occupies us for several weeks. Ultimately, we want to provide an answer, even if it's not easy for us.
With each video – but especially in the discussions with you – we get a little closer to answering the big, tricky questions.
