Directed by - Werner Herzog

Written by - Herbert Achternbusch, Werner Herzog

Starring - Josef Bierbichler, Stefan Guttler, Clemens Scheitz

"A small Bavarian village falls in a strange despair after an old factory owner dies and takes the formula for the making of ruby glass to the grave with him. The plot, however, comes second to the filmmaker’s eccentricity; he put his cast under hypnosis, a process which makes the film feel bizarre and sinister, but rather out of focus."

Period Drama, West Germany
