"Hills of Venus" - yet unpublished

Synopsis:
Dr. Marty Powell is a typical university professor,
he teaches Astrology at Cambridge and
publishes books on astronomy, especially on his
favorite subject - the planet Venus.

His wife Helen is the CFO of a New York based
Internet company. They seem to live happily in
London's Kensington but Marty develops a kind of
depressive schizophrenia. At first it seems to be
not much more than a midlife crisis in full bloom.
While he pretends to be the most normal
husband to the outside he lives a hidden life of
sexual fantasies.

An affair with one of his students turns his life
upside down. He believes to be terminally-ill and
turns not only suicidal but also begins to openly
oppose the power of government and the silent
death of our freedom. His political opposition
gets him fired from his teaching position at the
university.

The final kick over the edge is a high-school
class reunion, where he realizes what society
and peer pressures does to people and their
lives. He flees the UK in the company of one of
his high-school classmates and drives through
Europe in mad search for purpose. Sitting on the
rock in Gibraltar he realizes that we all have
become prisoners of our own morality.

"Hills of Venus"
Marty Powell fights the silent death of freedom.
