Severin Unck is the headstrong young daughter of a world famous film director. S
he has inherited her father's love of the big screen but not his exuberant gothi
c style of filmmaking. Instead, Severin makes documentaries, artful and passiona
te and even rather brave - for she is a realist in a fantastic alternate univers
e, in which Hollywood occupies the moon, Mars is rife with lawless saloons, and
the solar system contains all manner of creatures, cults and colonies.
