A subtle and ambiguous story about a mysterious encounter that spirals into a psychological game of truth and lies.
One day, a girl appears at the narrator's door with a 1,000-schilling note and an implausible story, only to disappear shortly after. Years later, a young woman forces her way into the narrator's life, claiming to be that very girl. A lurking dance begins in which closeness and distance, truth and deception blur.
Monika Helfer's narrative is a vexing game that remains exciting and abysmal to the very end, congenially accompanied by Kat Menschik's iridescent illustrations.
