Info
Brief Overview:
Germany, 1921

Synopsis:
Romantic mood and resignation define this novella-style film, in which Death has grown tired of his duty and longs to be “defeated” by a young girl. Equally impressive is the entire “main plot”: the scenes set in a romantically winding German town with its partly quirky characters, and the scene in the majestically dark Hall of Life Candles.
