Wax Wings Of Retribution

Robert, a sixty-year-old former investigator for the Zurich drug squad, lives a very secluded life. At Rome airport, he meets the young American Megan, who is on her first trip to Europe. Due to a bomb threat, the airport must be evacuated, all passengers are put up in hotels and the two stranded people become close. But who is Megan and why does she seek contact with him of all people, the tired old man who can no longer find any real meaning in life? Why does nothing discourage her and why does she stay close to him all the time? Conflicted between skepticism and longing for closeness, Robert accepts the chance acquaintance that brings him two nights of love. In the end, Megan is like an ocean wave that slowly but steadily washes away the boulder in the universal certainty that she has nothing more to do than stick with it. However, she hasn't reckoned with Robert's reawakening investigative spirit ... And so Megan meets her greatest adversary.
