About the event
"The Spring of Kasper Meier" By Ben Fergusson
1946. Everything is in short supply. Including the truth. The war is over, but Berlin is a
desolate sea of rubble. There is a shortage of everything: food, clothing, tobacco. The local
population is scrabbling to get by. Kasper Meier is one of these Germans, and his solution is
to trade on the black market to feed himself and his elderly father. He can find anything that
people need, for the right price. When a young woman, Eva, arrives at Kasper's door seeking
the whereabouts of a British pilot, he feels a reluctant sympathy for her but won't interfere in
military affairs. But Eva knows Kasper has secrets, and she'll use them to get what she wants.
As a net of deceit, lies and betrayal falls around him, Kasper begins to understand that the
seemingly random killings of members of the occupying forces are connected to his own
situation. He must work out who is behind Eva's demands, and why...
