Biography

Ingrid Caven monta pour la première fois sur scène en 1943, à l'âge de quatre ans, pour interpréter des chants de Noël devant les soldats d'Hitler. Révélée au cinéma par Rainer Werner Fassbinder, elle joua dans nombre de ses films ; ils ont été mariés de 1970 à 1972. Elle fut une amie d'Yves Saint Laurent, qui tailla sur elle sa robe de scène, un fourreau noir qu'elle a toujours gardé comme un fétiche. À la fin des années 1970, elle mena la revue Ingrid Caven chante au cabaret Le Pigall's à Paris.

Ingrid Caven est la compagne de l'écrivain français Jean-Jacques Schuhl, qui a écrit des paroles de son album Chambre 1050 (traduit en allemand par Caven pour l'album Helle Nacht) et s'est inspiré d'elle dans son roman Ingrid Caven, prix Goncourt 2000.

Ronnie lives in a small sleepy village and is the owner of a small company for deep-frozen goods. Daydreams, contact ads, the firemen's brassband, the weekly visits at his shrink and his buddy Lars' cynical remarks about air guitar and vinyl-records are the highlights of Ronnie's life. Already, as a kid, he had been under the thumb of his control obsessed mother. Ronnie's feelings are as deep-frozen as his goods. Until the day, a wonderful being (one of the female kind) strands in the village. The local priest hires the young girl, with the name of Zoya, as housekeeper and within days, every male of the village is infatuated with her. Ronnie also falls for Zoya and, lucky for once, marries her. However, since the presence of Zoya, strange things have happened in the village. Everybody who tries to search in Zoya's unknown past dies, disappears. Slowly that well-known fear sneaks into Ronnie's body: man's fear of women.

Hermann Hermann is a successful entrepreneur in the 1930s Germany. As the Nazis gradually rise to power, Hermann, who is a Russian émigré, becomes increasingly frightened and mentally unstable. His attempts at leaving the country are accompanied by symptoms of madness, the most vivid being his belief that he found his exact double, although the person in question differs from him in every respect. He creates an elaborate plan that would allow him to flee to Switzerland, but it soon becomes unclear whether his voyage leads him to a neutral country or merely allows him to take refuge in his madness.
