  • Log in or register to post comments

In a world of glamour and heartbreak, Petra, a successful fashion designer, lives immersed in her own solitude and despair. Residing in an elegant apartment in Hamburg, her life takes an unexpected turn when she meets the young and attractive Karin, whom she decides to make her muse and lover. Petra's attraction to Karin is visceral, leading her to enter into an intensely passionate yet ultimately destructive relationship.

As the connection between them deepens, jealousy and insecurities begin to surface in Petra's life. Caught in the trap of her own emotional dependency, she confronts her demons while dealing with the demands of her career and the whims of a relationship that seems destined for failure. Petra's friends and ex-lovers become witnesses to the tumultuous romance, providing a contrast between the professional life of a strong woman and the vulnerability she experiences in love.

The narrative explores themes such as possessiveness, loneliness, and the longing for acceptance, in a struggle between passion and pain. As the bond between Petra and Karin crumbles under the weight of disillusionment, the protagonist is forced to confront her situation and discover what love really means in her life, in an emotional journey that will leave indelible scars.
