In 2001, the Göttinger Zeitung wrote that Margit (69) had lived a secluded life as an inconspicuous woman. In 2011, the Hamburger Abendblatt stated that Irina (65) had lived in seclusion, a non-descript woman. Both women were invisible, forcefully concealed by their roles as wives and homemakers. Only for a brief moment did they claim visibility. Through acts of violence. The Sleeper revolves around the time before these acts took place.
