A surreal, genre-defying black-and-white fable that blends UFO mythology, Western tropes, and philosophical mystery into an enigmatic confrontation between an outsider and tyrannical power.

Arriving on a deserted beach in the Mediterranean sea, in a time and a place unspecified, Kaspar Hauser is forced to confront the evil of a Grand Duchess who feels threatened by the power she exercises over the community.
