In the dark city of Streindarke, emotion is not forbidden. It is processed, certified, and filed. Registrar Albrecht Baus administers the bonds of love as bureaucratic duty, until the weight of what he cannot feel for himself becomes impossible to ignore. A gothic, dystopian tale inspired by the song Dark Entries by Bauhaus.
