English Summary/英文概要： In a variety of ways, people trustingly forward their personal information to organisations and companies. After all, aren’t discretion and safety guaranteed? But what if your identity gets stolen?
What if things occur in your name and on your behalf, things you do not know about? Until it is too late and you are confronted with the facts. At the breathtaking pace of an action film, Charles den Tex, three time winner of The Golden Noose, describes a nightmare that can happen to anyone.
In Cell, Kafka is made real.
