Maria Schneider

Christmas time, December 23rd. You are on a business trip in Germany, leaving a jewellery shop after spending most of your cash on an engagement ring for your girlfriend, when your boss fires you by e-mail and your girlfriend breaks up with you by SMS. Being fired your company credit card is void, your hotel cancelled and you have no flight back booked yet because it was not clear when you would fly. You are standing dumbfounded in the street, finding yourself stranded in a foreign country without job, credit card, hotel, flight, girlfriend and hardly any cash. It is in this moment when you encounter Maria in her Santa costume.
