The Universal Theory

1962. A physics congress in the Alps. An Iranian guest. A mysterious pianist. A bizarre cloud formation in the sky and a mysterious boom underground. A quantum mechanic thriller in black and white.
1962. Johannes Leinert, together with his doctoral advisor, travels to a physics congress in the Swiss Alps, where an Iranian scientist is set to reveal a 'groundbreaking theory of quantum mechanics'. But when the physicists arrive at the five-star hotel, the Iranian guest is nowhere to be found. In the absence of a new theory to be discussed, the physics community patiently turns to skiing. Johannes, however, remains at the hotel to work on his doctoral thesis, but soon finds himself distracted, developing a fascination with Karin, a young jazz pianist. Something about her seems strange, elusive. She seems to know things about him - things that he thought only he knew about. When one of the German physicists is found dead one morning, two inspectors arrive on the scene, investigating a homicide case. As increasingly bizarre cloud formations appear in the sky, the pianist disappears without a trace - and Johannes finds himself dragged into a sinister story of false memories, waking nightmares, impossible love and a dark, and a roaring mystery hidden beneath the mountain.
