Tenderly Strung takes place in the historically rich region of Bernese Seeland and tells the unusual life story of Kurt Marolf. He finds himself increasingly troubled by emotional distress. He feels like a failure and comes to the conclusion that he has always chosen the wrong path at the crucial moments of his life. Is there a foreign soul within me? he wonders. More and more evidence suggests that he once lived here in Seeland during prehistoric times and the Middle Ages. Neither the psychiatrist nor the memory tomography conducted by his researcher friend provides any insight into the origin of his consistently destructive behavior patterns. The sensitive Kurt senses that only the return of his long-lost first love and soulmate Amélie could help him in his quest for self-discovery. Perhaps then he would succeed,.
