Die Tangotänzer sind da. Ihre Musik kommt aus einem alten Radiorekorder von Nordmende. Das weiß Wayne so genau, weil der Rekorder ihm gehört. Die Tänzer treten festlich auf. In der Nacht sehen Denkmäler im Park wie erstarrte Lebewesen aus. Wir sind alle nur Möglichkeiten füreinander. Überall werden Verabredungen getroffen, als müsse sterben, wer nichts vorhat.

In this vibrant portrait of Mennonite Women USA, Anita Hooley Yoder paints with both broad and subtle strokes the one-hundred-year history of an organization that nurtures local church women’s groups and connects Mennonite women across the world.
