He disappeared? Where did he go?" – "I have no idea. He was simply gone." – "Maybe he'd finished work for the day."

I once knew a guy named Sterni who was a doorman at a state-subsidized dive bar. "What really matters," he always said, "is overcoming gravity." But the time of utopias was over, and I was on my way to a meeting with the boss, full of anticipation. Then Sterni, smiling happily, stepped in front of me and said, "Despite deadly dangers, I overcame all the obstacles that barred my access to hidden phenomena. I discovered the living cell, found the building block of the elements, and now I'm going to venture into space. What do you say, want to come along?" And then he showed me his rocket. As an enlightened European, I could see immediately, of course, that the thing would never fly, but he just said, "Now let's give that engine some gas," opened two beers, and off we went. Unfortunately, we then had a falling out at an intergalactic convenience store over the question of why all bodies fall at the same rate regardless of their mass, and I haven't seen him since.

Sterni and the Astronauts

M*Halle, Schweri

"This is not life, this is the law."

Tessa Ensler is one of the best. As a criminal defense attorney, she is unbeatable, defending countless men accused of sexual assault with skillful negotiation strategies and compelling success under cross-examination. Whether the perpetrator is guilty or not is irrelevant to her, because in the courtroom, only the legal truth counts. Tessa is concerned with solid evidence, with gaps in the victims' testimonies, with upholding the presumption of innocence, and with fighting for the justice system. A system in which she, as one of the few, has made a career and in which she believes with the deepest conviction. Until something happens that she never thought possible. Tessa herself becomes the victim of a sexual assault. Her life threatens to collapse. But Tessa decides to fight. From defense attorney, she becomes prosecutor herself and experiences the proceedings in the courtroom, the accusations and prejudgments, now from the other perspective.
