Yester und Li: Die Geschichte einer Sehnsucht

Ginstermann drifts home in the depth of night, the city muffled beneath a shivering coat of moonlight. The quiet of his apartment feels altered, as if an unseen presence has rearranged his scattered manuscripts and the sketches on his walls. The ticking of distant rain on the shutters seems to speak a language only his thoughts can hear, and he is left questioning who he truly is and what invisible force has drawn him from his long‑held solitude.

The following evening he finds himself walking beside two elegantly dressed young women, companions of a sculptor friend celebrating an upcoming wedding. The trio moves through the quiet streets with a measured, almost ceremonial pace, while Ginstermann senses an inexplicable distance between himself and the women, as if an invisible fourth presence mirrors his own hesitation. The encounter leaves him unsettled, his mind replaying the brief, trembling touch of a silk coat and the echo of words that feel not entirely his own, setting the stage for a deeper, unsettling journey into desire and identity.
