short summary:
Myriam lives a sheltered existence in a small Catholic town on the Lower
Rhine. She is married to Bernd Mölders, an ambitious young mayor, and
they have just moved into a new house together. They love each other and
ever ything in their life seems to be just per fect.
And then she finds out by accident that Bernd makes regular trips to a
brothel in neighbouring Holland. There is no one with whom she can dis-
cuss this – least of all her husband. And what would she say to him anyway?
What would be the point of making a scene? That wouldn’t change his
desire for prostitutes. And so she decides to tr y to understand his fascination by going to a brothel herself and working there in secret. Myriam finds herself in a strange twilight world where she soon feels more and more at home. In a sudden rush she discovers her own sexuality, a side of her she can’t live out with Bernd, because he wants her to stay the way she always was. And so Myriam persists in her double life – not realising that she’s becoming addicted to a realm of illusion. |
