About

Ada Hänselmann presents her debut novel. However, the numerous guests are only interested in the 82-year-old legendary actor Nino Winter and his autobiography. The two meet again in the evening at the hotel bar. Ada involves Nino in a game - he is supposed to play a detective and shadow her. After a tour of the city, the games continue: Both are to answer any five of the other's questions honestly. Nino is skeptical, but eventually there are hundreds of questions, big and small, casual and existential, about life, love, fame, transience: what would Nino look like as a woman, what was nature thinking when it created the family, what does love sound like, what does death mean? Ada and Nino become allies of the night. They have to jump over their own shadows and a magical closeness develops between them. It is an encounter that neither of them will ever forget...
