Sony Good Against North Wind

A twisted letter causes an email from Emma Rothner to accidentally land in Leo Leike's inbox. The linguist responds promptly. They begin a quick, fun, and increasingly intimate email dialogue, the kind that can only happen with a stranger. A few weeks and many exchanged messages later, this evolves into a virtual friendship. Initially, Leo and Emma decide to keep their connection purely digital as a small escape from everyday life, since Leo can't seem to move on from his ex-girlfriend Marlene, and Emma is married to Bernhard and has two stepchildren. Nevertheless, they confide their innermost thoughts to each other and draw closer on the fine line between total unfamiliarity and casual intimacy. This raises the question of whether they should meet face to face, as the butterflies that Leo and Emma feel in their stomachs every time their email inbox announces a new message with a "ping" are certainly not just digital. But can one truly fall in love only through words? And will the feelings of love that have been sent, received, and stored withstand a real-life encounter? And what if they do?.
