A dreamlike visual and musical journey where mysticism intertwines with humor, and absurdity becomes reality. In the 1920s, Baltic German Countess Alice von Trotta returns to Latvia to claim her inheritance but accidentally falls into the grasp of a secret and eerie cult. As she struggles to regain her freedom, she discovers the magic of cinema and becomes a pioneer of silent film. Filled with mysticism and irony, the storyline challenges the boundaries between film and life, weaving in references to world cinema masterpieces and the directors love for early cinema.
