action
An old myth, told anew and told today: The gods give people gold to test them and with it they plant greed in their hearts. In view of the wars that arise from envy and hatred, the gods withdraw treasures from people and sink them into the depths of the Rhine, guarded by heavenly daughters. But it is possible the dwarf Alberich , the Rhine maidens to outwit and in the possession of the Rhinegold to arrive in power together with the legendary ring. He founds a reign of terror in Nibelheim , which in turn calls Wotan , the father of gods, onto the scene. Because he needs the treasure to pay off the giants who have just finished building his old-age retirement home Valhalla . Wotan takes the ring from the dwarf, but Alberich builds a noble man out of iron and steel in his forge: Siegfried . He should bring him back the ring ...
