Lötscher | Schmidli | Lötscher:
Paint It Black

At nightfall I encountered a woman without a conscience. `Bring me the nightingale´, she whispered.  Her eyes fluttered but in her hand a hot iron glowed

Private detective Mellow is searching for the missing musician, Lou Baker.  He dives into a story from another time, which sucks him in deeper and deeper until it becomes his doom. With one soundtrack, live moving images and an actress, Lötscher|Schmidli|Lötscher transport the urban cosmos of the classic Film Noir to the stages of the Sophiensæle.
