71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance

On Christmas Eve 1993 a 19 year-old student killed several people – all of whom were complete strangers – for no apparent reason. What brought victims and killer together? As in the first two parts of the trilogy ('Der siebente Kontinent', 'Benny's Video'), the focus of the plot is created by an act of violence lacking sufficient explanatory motive.
