'The story of Moinous and Sucette. Their love story. The intensity of the hope it contains. The intensity of the possible disappointment. They meet for the first time in New York, one afternoon in March. Or perhaps in February. But they don't speak to each other that day. They smile at each other, that's all. - The love story of Sucette and Moinous begins with a smile.
Such a smile is full of possibilities and harbours just as many possible stories. Sad, hopeful and also extravagant. Raymond Federmann plays with these possibilities in his new, again largely autobiographical radio play. He tells his story differently time and again, and - as in his other plays - narrative and the difficulty of narrative itself always become the theme. - 'That's why I constantly refuse to tell a story - no matter how hard a writer tries, no matter what form he resorts to, he will never be able to give shape to the chaos of life. Nevertheless, I try.' (Raymond Federmann).
