A sad trio beneath a sun that lies.
A peculiar house. Old Alma writes and clamours, her niece Agnes is exhausted, young Max is discovering the magical world of the attic, which great Mr Odino is moving into. Herr von Bärentrost is running riot in the cellar. Max, Alma and Mr Odino travel to Mispelheim and attend an evening gala, a collection of curios, a masquerade – in the end, everything goes up in flames. Silvia Bovenschen celebrates Walpurgis Night. She swirls battered myths, ethnic ghost stories and fears for the future around in flashing scenes. A witch dance against the backdrop of time and legends – and in it, we recognise the ghost of our present time.
