Status Updates From Untertauchen

I am still struggling to follow along. I thought this was a retelling of the Oedipus myth but...

Also. Why would a woman who didn't want a baby run off with it instead of leaving it with the father? And then only to abandon the baby after?

And why would the lead hunt this woman down??

Ban nonlinear storytelling.

And the female lead keeps addressing her mother with "you". I dislike this.
