Das vierte Verhör

In the organizer's words:

The Union, an authoritarian state in the not-too-distant future. Kundai Anderson believes she has reached the goal of her dreams. Just a few more stamps and a few more signatures and she finally receives the building permit for her long-planned spa. But the dream suddenly turns into a nightmare. The young woman is confronted with strange questions - "You want people to rest and think? Think about what?" - and finally she is taken away and locked in a cell.

The agents of Unit A, where Anderson has ended up, suspect her of supporting the Nox Initiative, a seditious group bent on destabilizing the Union through displays of uncontrolled laughter, exalted behavior and undisguised emotion. In her cell, Kundai Anderson meets a mysterious woman who is also suspected of belonging to the Nox Initiative. She has been held there for many years and has developed highly peculiar survival and resistance techniques.
