Synopsis

In his new novel, Rainer Merkel tells scenes of an extinct love. A man must go to the airport. He's in a hurry, but his memories hold him up. Here in New York, he has met his longtime girlfriend again. One last time. In ever new approaches, his thoughts circle around the centre of the disaster. He remembers the dramatic events of recent months. A journey through California that ends in the middle of the desert in a nameless hotel. In memory, this night appears glaring and overexposed, and the search for the truth becomes a sexual confession, a confession without a listener, a monologue without an audience. Shortly before his return flight, he suddenly realizes that there would have been a possibility of rescue.
»What remains of the nights you spend together? I need to calculate. Night after night. In a systematic remembrance work, and if you go through everything again, you may find the decisive moment, the moment I am looking for all the time."
