Charles Lewinsky

Kastelau

Published by Diogenes as Kastelau

Original Title: Kastelau

A man stands on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame and destroys a star with a pickaxe. Why did he do it? The affair leads back to the winter of 1944: under the pretext of shooting a propaganda film, a Berlin film team sets off into the Alps. But in the village of Kastelau, the filming of an invented story increasingly becomes the invented story of a filming.
