action

The narrator, a nameless clown ( Jake The Rapper ), guides through the film in which the ballerina girl Dynasty (Valerie Renay) is desperately looking for work. Your final option is the obscure L'amour Toujours theater, led by Pygor ( Erwin Leder ), a bizarre, unreal figure. Pygor puts Dynasty through a hell of a audition. In loose episodes, each character gets the chance to sing their own song in the style of the music shop . Ultimately, Pygor captures Dynasty and confronts her with his demonic film ambitions. The narrator takes his own life by hanging.

criticism

"... an unusual, gloomy and, last but not least, musical chamber play about art and life, desire and reality, fate and rebellion against it, manipulation, vanities and bitter insights."
