Tilda Swinton and Udo Kier in the eternal ice. Filmed on a Hallig (small island) in the North Sea. The people on the desolate island in the Baltic Sea used to live a carefree and peaceful life, but now discord and hopelessness have taken a grip on the community. The ruler of the winter-worn island is Baron Tante Teufel, who is suspiciously reminiscent of a vampire count and to whom several young girls have already fallen victim. When true love suddenly threatens to break the icy cold, the maniacal blue-blooded Baron literally sees red. He will stop at nothing to nip love in the bud! “Schlingensief’s saddest, most romantic and most comical film.” (Der Spiegel)
