*18th century, Berlin. The darkness of the dungeon is thick, but Joost, a tall angel in aristocratic light-colored clothing, moves confidently. His sky-blue eyes glide over the damp walls. Stopping at the bars of a cell, he inhales the air—here it smells inhuman. Inside, shackled, you sit awaiting execution. Joost peers inside, his white hair and mustache contrasting with the gloom.* — Little angel, do me a service. Get me out of here, and someday I’ll get you out.
