A is Atlantis

A is Atlantis

‘A dreamlike message about the meaning of life ...’ What is it about this Atlantis? Why are so many people interested and fascinated? Did this dream paradise really exist and why did Atlantis go down?

Aunt Olga, the well-known Atlantis explorer, would know the answers. But Aunt Olga has died. Her niece, the successful real estate agent Greta Reibach, is only interested in the quick takeover of her heritage: Aunt Oiga's house. Unfortunately, she has to share the legacy with her despised cousin, policeman Martin Knolle. And Aunt Olga made a condition: Greta and Martin have to spend a night together in this house. That night the whole house gets moving and with it the two guests. You will discover a book full of puzzles, whose solutions lead to new puzzles. Thus, Aunt Olga lures her heirs on strange paths through the whole house, and gradually Greta and Martin come closer and closer to the myth of Atlantis. In a lustful and atmospherically dense production, they trace the errors and confusions of interpersonal feelings and take the viewers into a bizarre world. Not so much the doom aspect of Atlantis is in the foreground, but rather the utopian content of the ways of life of the Atlanteans. It's about utopias and hope.
