"An ice-cold skewering of patriarchy, humanity and the darkness of the 20th century Europe" The Times
"It''s like this, Saul Adler."
"No, it''s like this, Jennifer Moreau."
In 1988, Saul Adler is hit by a car on the Abbey Road. Apparently fine, he gets up and poses for a photograph taken by his girlfriend, Jennifer Moreau. He carries this photo with him to East Berlin: a fragment of the present, an anchor to the West. But in the GDR he finds himself troubled by time - stalked by the spectres of history, slipping in and out of a future that does not yet exist. Until, in 2016, Saul attempts to cross the Abbey Road again...
