If Women Are From Venus, Where Does Winston Come From?

Relationship, relationship, relationship – love, hate, and everything else in between. My fiancé and I never got closely acquainted. I keep misunderstanding my girlfriend. My parents never truly know what I want. What about my fellow sunbathers, or my film audience? Do we all really come from different planets? But then, if women are from Venus and men are from Mars, if parents are from Pluto and kids are from the sun, what kind of place does Winston Ngakambe (“The Day Winston Ngakambe Came to Kiel,” Jasper Ahrens, Germany 2003) come from?
