Inspired through the work of con- temporary Austrian writer Michael Köhlmeier, particularly his narrative Sunrise (1994), early thoughts evolved around the premise of three chapters unfolding into one tale – a heightened reality. Revealing a time in the life of the characters, where they feel intense emotions.

The core image of two vastly different individuals in a crisis arose. Both captivated upon their innocence and a shared sense of sorrow and agony, which led to a series of unfortunate events throughout their lives.

Through a writing process of several months, the concept evolved to a much greater extent than initially intended, reaching feature length.

Due to a lack financial resources and time constraints, it was decided to re-construct the plot, visualising the first chapter only, therefore al- lowing the picture to become more distinctive and self-contained.

The entire story has been outlined and is currently in process of being adapted into a screenplay.
