A psychological re‑imagining of Wagner’s opera, the film weaves references to German history, Wagner’s life, literature and philosophy. Its narrative hinges on Wagner’s death mask, and while Amfortas appears, Kundry dominates as the central figure, framing the story as her redemption rather than a tale of the wounded king.
