German Camera Award Scheherazade was a gifted storyteller who enchanted a king with her Tales of a 1001 Nights. Manu, an unstable young woman, is perhaps just as gifted. But when she breathlessly bursts into a police station with a wildly improbable story of murder and conspiracy, the cops simply don't believe her. She says that her Arab lover has been murdered. She claims that he was supposed to fly one of the planes involved in the 9/11 attacks. She swears that he told her the truth about 9/11, namely that it was organized by a powerful clique representing U.S. oil and political interests... And now she says she's being pursued. Reluctantly, the police look into the matter. But there is no evidence, no body - nothing. Only one police officer, won over by her intensity and passion, starts to believe her. The more he investigates her "case," the deeper he plunges into a densely woven web of mystery. He discovers that a man was killed, that Manu is being followed, and that her shadowers do seem to have a powerful organization behind them... Yet nothing is really what it seems to be...
