You are a camera. Focus on a character who interests you and follow them. Take a journey from fin-de-siécle Vienna to World War I, from Gustav Mahler's funeral in Vienna to Alma's Venetian Palazzo. Accompany her on her honeymoon trip to Palestine, and be a road companion on her way to exile in the USA. Witness Franz Werfel's death in California, and sit side to side with Gustav Mahler on Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytical couch. Watch Alma's love nights with Walter Gropius in Berlin, and Oskar Kokoschka's desperation in Dresden, where he creates a life-size Alma doll. Everywhere, amidst hundreds of dripping candles, unfold new, astonishing scenes and arrangments.
