This short novella is set in the late 1990s, in Berlin, a city which has been the European magnetic center of the alternative scene since the late 1970s, at least. We follow Teresa, a young woman who is just engaging in her first steps of adulthood and employment, by getting an internship at a museum, in order to help out in the organization of a major exhibition on Tutankhamun. As always, Fior likes to weave a number of developing storylines, so on the one hand, Teresa is reading Howard Carter’s published journals, which allows us to follow, as the scenes are presented at a hypodiegetic level, that other older journey of archeological findings and cultural shock at the Valley of the Kings in 1922, as the researcher unearthed the great Pharaoh’s tomb and hidden treasures, the very basis for Teresa’s contemporary exhibition. On the other hand, an almost random meeting with another Italian living in Berlin, Ruben, will throw Teresa into a maelstrom of passion, crisis and a non-bourgeois lifestyle that clashes with her more professional, normative and linear aspirations.
