Ada is presenting her debut novel at a book shop, but the majority of the audience is only interested in Nino Winter and his autobiography "I came, I saw and I loved". They meet that evening at the hotel bar. Despite their initial reluctance, a lively and inquisitive discussion develops. Ada is captivated by his charm and personality. Nino is overwhelmed by the young woman’s straightforward manner. They lie beside each other on the hotel bed, each with five questions that the other must answer honestly. But what starts out as five develops into hundreds of questions, big and small, incidental and existential, about life, love, fame and the fleeting nature of time. Die Libelle und das Nashorn is an honest exchange about men and women and the things that often remain unspoken in a relationship. (Zurich Film Festival)
