Love in the Life of Spies

Love in the Life of Spies: From Berlin to Buenos Aires

Love in the Life of Spies is, as its title suggests, a love story between two spies during the Cold War, an East German woman and an American man, each working for their respective opposing clandestine agencies and, therefore, against each other. Their meetings, seemingly accidental, unfold over years in the United States, Germany, Argentina, Paraguay and, finally, serve only to reveal an uncertain future. It asks the question: is such a love viable under such complicated and adverse geopolitical circumstances? Or was it meant to be – at least as a possibility – according to karma’s blueprint. The answer, although not definitive, is maybe, or even yes involving, strangely enough, Anthroposophy.
