## Description

Wanda is cruel by profession. Her specialty: inventing traps for her lovers. Gregor, the romantic dreamer, is torn from his dream. Justine, the naive overseas innocence, must learn that passion, too, is an illusion. Mr. Maehrsch, a journalist, wants an interview with Wanda and in the process learns something about his hidden desires. Only Caren knows what's going on. That's why she soon no longer plays a role.
