Lines in Transparency was shot in a glass office building (DWS - Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management) in Frankfurt am Main. The script was inspired by the novel The Grey Cloth And Ten Percent White: A Ladies Novel, (1910) by the fantasist and visionary writer, Paul Scheerbart.
Clara Krug only dresses in grey with ten percent white, a contract made with her husband, Mr. Krug, a famous glass architect. Clara is living in his glass architecture.
