In the twilight years of Communist East Germany Bruno Krug a womanising ’People’s Champion of Art and Culture’ who once penned a world-famous novel falls for Theresa Aden a music student from the West. But Theresa has also caught the eye of a cocky young scriptwriter who delights in satirising Bruno’s more recent tamer offerings. Asked to appraise a mysterious manuscript Bruno is disconcerted to find that the author is none other than his rival. Worse than that the book is good - very good - but also subtly subversive. If his pursuit of Theresa is to end in triumph Bruno decides he must employ a small deception. However in the paranoid labyrinth of a police state knowing the deceiver from the deceived the betrayer from the betrayed isn’t just difficult -- it’s a matter of life and death.
