This 1989 film is set several years in the future, in 1995. In the story, Jens Lohkamp (Ian Morse), a computer whiz, is trying to use his computer on an old photograph of a woman's long-lost father to see what he would look like in the present and, with the updated image, help her find him. While he is working on it, he realizes it is a picture of the man he saw kidnapping his sister many years before. The missing man becomes aware that his identity is known, and he attempts to deal with the situation. However, this particular computer whiz has access to more than just the current appearance of the killer. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

In an interesting tale of romantic obsession, an introverted young projectionist catches some love-making going on in one corner of the dark movie theater where he works, and recognizes the woman involved as a popular television newscaster he adores. He manages to steal the key to her apartment from her purse, and later lets himself in. This is the first step that leads to a love affair between the two, but soon he becomes fixated on the woman - spying on her, needing to control the relationship totally. His attitude is a disaster waiting to happen. Writer, director, and editor Niklaus Schilling shot this drama with a video camera and then transferred the tape to celluloid film in the laboratory, perhaps adding a little "TV verité" to the end product, but also creating a lot of graininess in the process. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
