Warning Shadows

A wealthy man invites the local wealthy bachelors over for a puppet show about men who covet another man's wife. What ensues is a violent confrontation of desire, jealousy and sexual tension as the guests indulge in their darkest impulses. During a dinner, given by a wealthy baron and his wive, attended by four of her suitors in a 19th century German manor, a shadow-player rescues the marriage by giving all the guests a vision what might happen tonight if the baron stays jealous and the suitors do not reduce their advances towards his beautiful wife. Or was it a vision? —Stephan Eichenberg <eichenbe@fak-cbg.tu-muenchen.de>
