During this evening, a story will be shared that takes place in East Germany in the 1980s, where an officer of the state security service is assigned to observe a successful playwright. From a bare attic space, he follows the life in the apartment below and becomes personally involved when he develops feelings for the playwright’s partner. The story explores themes such as individual freedom, ethics, and the workings of a repressive system.

This evening’s choice was made by Louis, who will also provide an introduction.
