A young school teacher, Anna, takes a European trip with her brother, Carl, after discovering she has contracted a fatal illness called, ATD (Acquired Toilet Disease.) This whirlwind adventure through France and Germany begins positively but takes a dark turn when they discover they are being followed by a mysterious stranger they can't shake off. As Anna tries to waltz around the truth, she eventually faces the reality of her circumstances and accepts that fantasy is a fabrication of denial.
"A tender, caustic comedy..."--NY Times.
"A rare and magnificent work. A celebration of life at the same time it is a heart-rending evocation of loss."--Baltimore Sun.
