Berlin, Germany. A cruel murder took place in an appartment building. Somebody bit off quite a piece of the victim’s penis, who then, of course, lost a lot of blood, before being struck down at the head. Leading investigator Bernhard Kominka, being in stress due to a mentally retarded son and a problematic wife, seems to be the only one to see a lady in a red coat. After a while, his theory of her being the murderer may prove to be true, but the Cop also kind of fell in love with this new, interesting person in both of his lives: professional and private as well. Borders dissolve. His decision may be disastrous in any way.Read More »

“Judith, Charly, Caroline, and Nanou, plus their men friends, are semi-Bohemians in Paris, avoiding paying rent, and encouraging each others’ efforts to make movies, produce plays, and play music.

This is somewhat upsetting to Luc’s sometime male lover, but life and these friendships go on, with good humor.”Read More »

At other times they are no more than grey, ghostly shapes, only half-seen in the swirling fog.Read More »

The direction in which our civilization appears to be headed threatens to disrupt the balance in this corner of the universe. The Law is activated in the form of «Pressures» οn a group of scientists that endanger not only their minds but even their very lives…Read More »
