Friday evening, a tower block, 15th floor. Ava's date with Robin is going perfectly. Until the doorbell rings and Ava's other lovers are at the door: Delia wants to pick up her mobile phone, Silvia wants to talk. The three meet for the first time in Ava's hallway. Overwhelmed, Ava flees to the roof of the tower block, the others run after her without keys. A date for two turns into a mission surrounded by conflict and revelations. ‘Vertigo’ is Hengameh Yaghoobifarah's second novel. Hengameh Yaghoobifarah lives in Berlin.
