Schatten der Nacht
6.4
Elga's life with Magnus, her husband, would be a happy one if Struwe, her former lover, had not resurfaced and started to blackmail her.For a while, he has been extorting money from her, threatening, if she didn't, to reveal all the details about their past life. In desperation, Elga decides to disappear and goes to another town where, forsaken and forlorn, she sinks lower and lower. One day, Magnus, who has not forgotten her, meets her by chance. And he falls in love with this stray creature who reminds him of the one who left him so suddenly...
