SF IndieFest: Traumnovelle
Berlin is a city of dreams and nightmares in equal measure. Behind the façades of the sometimes ruinous, sometimes futuristic buildings lie human heights and abysses. The streets and roads of the city are the nerve cords of a post-industrial Moloch, the bloodstreams of an urban world – superficially of beguiling beauty, but with the reverse side of a leper. Traumnovelle is a modern adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler’s 1926 erotic thriller, in which a woman explains to her husband that she has fantasies with other men, thus triggering in him the desire for his own adventures.
