Description
"Europe" is set at a railway station at an unnamed border town where old and new Europeans weave a tale of love, loss and longing. "The Architect" charts the rise and fall of Leo Black, once an idealistic and idolized designer, whose magnificent visions are now crumbling, along with his family, in the light of grubby reality. "The Cosmonaut's Last Message..." weaves together the stories of a fraught Scottish couple whose TV is on the blink, a Norwegian UN peace negotiator, a young prostitute, a French UFO researcher, a pregnant police woman and two forgotten Cosmonauts who sadly orbit the planet.
