A fairy tale run amok, The Taiga Syndrome follows an unnamed
Ex-Detective as she searches for a couple that has fled to the far
reaches of the Earth. A betrayed husband is convinced by a brief
telegram that his second ex-wife wants him to track her down - that
she wants to be found. He hires the Ex-Detective, who sets out with
a translator into a snowy, hostile forest where strange things
happen and translation serves to betray both sense and the senses.
The stories of Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood haunt
the Ex-Detective's quest. As she enters a territory overrun with
the primitive excesses of capitalism - accumulation and expulsion,
corruption and cruelty -the lessons of her journey unfold: that
sometimes leaving everything behind is the only thing left to do.
