The two-part film by Hartmut Bitomsky is an "essay film with a plot." It revolves around the transportation of books that are meant to go from Munich to Cologne. It's about reading the right texts, deciphering secret messages, the violence that emanates from books and sometimes doesn't return. At the same time, it's about cinematic storytelling; suspense arises where it doesn't belong and gets resolved when no one expects it. (Subtitle of Part 1: "Wandering Plot," Part 2: "At the Inferno of Silence")
