Dear Dorothee,

I would like to see the film but I am sorry to say I cannot make it to
Stuttgart next week - and this might be true maybe for others as well who
are living somehow outside of easy traveling distance to Stuttgart. Is it
possible to get access to the film without Tunafish sandwiches?

Best,
Johannes
