An artfully layered puzzle of identities and memories.
At age 16, Christina found true love — with Jakob, who was 39. His accidental death left a permanent void in her life. Twenty years later, young Patrick comes to Christina’s aid in a thunderstorm. From the start, his friendly and confident personality and his distinctive mannerisms remind her of Jacob. The two become lovers. Christina is happy in the relationship, seeing herself ever more reunited with Jacob. But the more Christina merges the two men in her mind, the more aggravated Patrick becomes. By the time he suspects that more than coincidence is behind their encounter, Christina has disappeared.
