A visually stunning German Expressionist fever dream that uses shadow-play and distorted reality to explore jealousy, desire, and the fragility of marriage.

During a dinner given by a wealthy baron and his wife, attended by four of her suitors in a 19th century German manor, a shadow-player rescues the marriage by giving all the guests a vision what might happen tonight if the baron stays jealous and the suitors do not reduce their advances towards his beautiful wife. Or was it a vision?
