The Sweet Indifference of the World

Christoph asks Lena, a woman he has never met, to meet him at Stockholm's Woodland Cemetery. He tells her a story of his life; is it also her story? Christoph's story is from his past, a story of falling in love with a woman named Magdalena, an actress like Lena. When the two broke up, Christoph was inspired to write his first novel. Lena is startled to hear the strange details of her own relationship with a writer, Chris.

What is real? What is not? Peter Stamm tells this tale with all the deep mystery and uncertainty of life, a story full of beauty and love and brokenness and longing.
