• The situations (sexual and historical) are mature and charged. The overall content is fraught and often disturbing. Ernst and Kost are, at least, Nazi sympathizers and anti-Semitic. We see the world of each of the characters being disturbed by the political climate and coming apart in most cases. There is no happy ending for any of them.
