Short De­scrip­ti­on

Two corpses lie before the majestic backdrop of the Rijksmuseum, arranged in a macabre reenactment of Jan van Eyck’s famous painting The Annunciation. A sight that plunges the city into a sea of fear and dark memories of the Bible Killer murders from years past. Inspector Stijn van der Rijn and his partner Henk Peeters suddenly find themselves confronted with a case that cuts deep into their own lives. But this is only the beginning. Stijn’s ex-girlfriend Tessa has been kidnapped, and with every passing moment, the hope of finding her alive dwindles. Driven by a cryptic verse from a yellowed Bible page, Stijn and his colleague Henk risk everything and follow their only lead to New York. It’s been two years since Inspector Stijn van der Rijn solved the Bible Killer case-yet the perpetrator, Mia de Jong, managed to escape. Now, Stijn must cross to the other side of the law to save Tessa.

Masterpiece continues the story of the gripping first installment Natural Red 4, revolving around the Bible Killer murders, and marks the beginning of the Masterpiece series.

Maas­tricht 1978: A gru­e­so­me se­cret hi­des in the sha­dows of Maas­tricht’s his­to­ric al­ley­ways.
A se­ries of mur­ders shakes the ci­ty, be­gin­ning with a sho­cking dis­co­very: the ma­yor’s son nai­led to a cross, han­ging dead in front of the Ba­si­li­ca of Saint Ser­va­ti­us. Short­ly the­reaf­ter, ano­ther mur­der – the mu­se­um di­rec­tor, bru­tal­ly bea­ten to de­ath on the fro­zen har­bor. The sta­ging of the cri­me sce­nes re­sem­bles the bi­b­li­cal pla­gues de­pic­ted in the pain­tings of the mys­te­rious ar­tist Rui de Lom­bar­de, who­se trail va­nis­hed in­to thin air six­teen years ago.
Com­mis­sio­ner Sti­jn van der Ri­jns and his col­lea­gue Henk Pee­ters are faced with a puz­zle. Sup­por­ted by the sharp-​wit­ted art his­to­ri­an Tes­sa van Eert­velt, they del­ve de­ep in­to the dark depths of the art world. But the cun­ning se­ri­al kil­ler is al­ways one step ahead of them. A macab­re game of cat and mou­se be­gins, pus­hing the in­ves­ti­ga­tors to their li­mits.
The ‘Bi­ble Kil­ler’ not on­ly wants to mur­der – he wants to bring the sins of the past to light th­rough dra­ma­tic sta­gings.

If Ra­pun­zel we­re a prin­cess of mo­dern ti­mes - no­wa­days al­so cal­led It Girl or style icon - she would cer­tain­ly ha­ve had a hard ti­me kee­ping her hair full and shiny. At that ti­me, the tower on which the prin­ce clim­bed up her long braid stood in the midd­le of a lush green fo­rest with cle­an air. Far from this fairy ta­le, no­wa­days we strugg­le with pol­lu­ti­on, stress and vit­amin de­fi­ci­en­cies that eat away at the be­au­ty of our hair.
He­re now co­mes the first gui­de­book of its kind that ad­dres­ses hair pro­blems both in­ter­nal­ly and ex­ter­nal­ly. The the­ra­py is sim­ple but ef­fec­tive. In the first part the hair is built up and strengt­he­ned from the in­si­de, in the se­cond part then the who­le ran­ge is savor­ed, which of­fers us the mo­dern hair cos­me­tics in­dus­try. And what is pos­si­ble no­wa­days is de­mons­tra­ted with the grea­test amu­se­ment and de­si­re for trans­for­ma­ti­on, en­ri­ched with se­veral an­ec­do­tes.
Whe­ther cut, co­lor or the la­test sty­ling tech­ni­ques, he­re co­mes ever­y­thing on the agen­da that ma­kes us what we all dream of - the best ver­si­on of our­sel­ves!

Who is the wo­man who calls her­self Me­la­nie Kim­ber ac­tual­ly? Is she as harm­less as it seems or is she a schi­zo­phre­nic child kil­ler? Af­ter a fall from Tower Bridge she has lost her me­mo­ry and knows not­hing about her past. On­ly one thing is for su­re: the se­ve­re head in­ju­ries ha­ve ma­de a com­ple­te dif­fe­rent per­son out of her. Alt­hough well sett­led in her new life in Lon­don the­re is al­ways the fe­ar if her past can catch up with her again. What about her re­cur­ring night­ma­res? From whe­re does she know the stran­ger in the pa­per shop? What is Ralf Mül­ler loo­king for in Lon­don? And which ro­le plays the pain­ter Lei­la Clark in this ent­an­g­led puz­zle? In a flash­back we learn what re­al­ly hap­pen­ed. In the end Me­la­nie is con­fron­ted with the ques­ti­on: How far do we ma­ke our own li­ve – how far is our li­ve ma­de by others? And how ma­ny life plans can de­sti­ny pro­vi­de for us?
A fast trip th­rough the depth of the hu­man brain and the an­s­wer to the ques­ti­on, whe­re mo­dern psy­cho­lo­gy pus­hes to its al­lo­pa­thic boun­da­ries. Can you crea­te a se­cond per­so­na­li­ty in a per­son li­ving in coexis­tence with each other that is re­trievable at any ti­me? And what hap­pens when one wants to ta­ke do­mi­ni­on over the other?

Short De­scrip­ti­on

Viktor is desperate to become a woman, this he already knows as a child. But the path to the goal is a challenge. The father: a professional soldier obsessed with masculinity. The mother: a weak character. The only reliable support is the resolute aunt Christa. But before the surgical transformation from Viktor into Valeska she becomes a highly paid topmodel: a better therapy than every shrink could ever give.

Valeska Réon tells her story with high drama, but always with a pinch of salt and highlights the punch line. How does she, while hiding away her ‘private parts‘ with band aid, react to the advances of men – especially when finding them extremely attractive? What to do when she, biologically still a man, is booked for a lingerie shooting? George, the fashion photographer who knows about her secret, is working with shadow and light. Light and shadow also fall on issue number one: men! She hated to be a man, but she loves them after she became a woman. But will she take men seriously in the end?

A film adaption by Austrian filmmaker Jakob M. Erwa under the title “Transmorphose“ is under way.
