Details

Brings together characters and situations from three different tales (A Dashing Fellow, A Matter of Chance , A Nursery Tale ) into a darkly romantic vision of interwar Europe: The crumbling decadence of Germany, 1930: one man's desire takes him far beyond the boundaries of human decency; another's longings and regrets force him into a dangerous spiral of addiction; a third's erotic reveries culminate in a thrilling Faustian pact with the Devil herself. A cast of Russian emigres, denizens of streetcar and gas-lit cafe, wander alone through the savage Mitteleuropean night. A series of fleeting encounters bring about irreversible decisions, blooming into worlds of deviance and delight. .
