Synopsis:

It's said that love is blind. The truth is: Love Makes You Perceptive. Love stories are fundamental stories. In this realm of experience, we can test our own power of judgement. It is possible to judge political matters, whih are not similarly open to intimate examination, through our knowledge of love stories. This is the theme of the Death of Lucretia (with Ivan Nagel). In The Siamese Hands, a young woman and a prison inmate have bound themselves together for eternity with glue. There are also stories of Japanese megastars of the art of love, pre-1917 Russian cinema melodramas, and sex in New York. Then there are supplemental two extras. Queen of Hearts on Judgement Day (with Heiner Müller) and My Love is Deeper than the Sea which is about the first underwater opera in the world.

Love and hate, how easily they break. Love stories are fundamental stories. In this realm of experience, we can test our own power of judgment. It is possible to judge political matters, which are not similarly open to intimate examination, through our knowledge of love stories. The death of Lucretia toppled the Roman monarchy. When a father is unable to protect his daughter Virgilia from a corrupt judge, he kills her. The secretive kiss of death is an instrument of power, a means to an end, for every Eastern network of agents. To be a laborer of love is the concern of a "grunt", a skillful prostitute, who provides an orderly erotic system on the oil rigs in the North Sea.
