Searching for leads with crime author Mitra Devi
Why does a crime author climb into a luggage locker at a railway station? Why does she plant poisonous mandrakes? In her first film Bea Huwiler follows her partner, writer Mitra Devi from Zurich, for a whole year while she writes and prowls around. Interviews with the municipal police, with a forensic medical doctor and a visit to a weapon salesman – “Crime” will show that it takes a lot more than talent and discipline to turn a vague idea into riveting story and a complete book.
