    • Christine

      Christine, Therapeutin in Chicago, hat nach einigen Umwegen zu einem halbwegs kommoden Glück mit Taylor, einer Fotografin, gefunden. Sie teilen ein Haus, einen Hund, ein Leben, das beständig scheint, bis eines Morgens Taylor nach einem bedeutungslosen Streit das Haus verläßt und nicht mehr zurückkehrt. Zunächst noch ist Christine wütend, doch diese Wut schlägt langsam in Nervosität und Sorge um. Hat Taylor sie verlassen, ist ihr etwas zugestoßen? Verzweifelt beginnt Christine, nach Hinweisen und Spuren zu suchen, entwickelt Fotos in Taylors Dunkelkammer. Sie reist nach Marokko, macht sich auf die Suche nach dem geliebten Menschen - und entdeckt eine Fremde. Carol Anshaw ist eine Meisterin der pointierten, schnellen Dialoge, und es gelingt ihr, den Schmerz über einen Verlust eindringlich zu schildern.
