Product details
Berlin, almost twenty years after the fall of the Wall. Kreuzberg has become faceless, in the trendy districts people live on too thin ice (you can hear it cracking softly when they close the covers of their laptops), and so Alina and Wolf move to the green edge of the city. At the Müggelsee, where the differences between East and West are not yet blurred, the place of amazing encounters with people from the lost republic, Wolf finds himself increasingly overwhelmed by the everyday life with Alina, the details of the togetherness, the confinement despite a comfortable apartment. When Charlotte suddenly appears, a lover from the past, he takes flight to new sensations fueled by the professor's offensive Eros, disguised as excursions with his Labrador Webster. But the strange perfume scent lingers unexpectedly long in Webster's fur. Alina becomes sceptical, and so ü.
