Mozart's opera with Petteri Salomaa, Ann Christine Biel, and Annika Skoglund playing the leads. Filmed on the stage of the beautiful Drottningholm Court Theatre in Sweden.
A psychological interpretation of the opera mixing in references to the history of Germany, Wagner's life, German literature and philosophy. The action is centered around Wagner's death mask. Kundry is the main character - one might read the film as the story of her redemption rather than that of Amfortas.
