synopsis


Singer K.D.Lang makes her acting debut in this moving parable of impossible love and the struggle for identity. Stunningly shot in remote north-western Alaska, the film sees Kothebue (Lang), an androgynous, inarticulate Alaskan pipeline worker, search out her family origins in a small town library. There she meets Roswitha (Rose! Zech), the librarian, a quiet East German who retreated to Alaska after her young husband was shot escaping across the Berlin Wall. As the women help each other come to terms with their pasts, Roswitha rejects a sexual relationship, despite the palpable desire that develops between them.

Written and directed by Percy Adlon, the film echoes his international hit, Bagdad Café - desolate locations, an emotional tryst between strong-willed women from diverse backgrounds - and remains a timeless tale of two lost souls searching for love.
