Introducing a Nazi werewolf in search of his soul - with the aid of Hip Hop, TV and nine sticks of dynamite. Stuart Orr manifests the self "in extremis" in his cinematic, anti-fascist treatise on history, propaganda and the contemporary world. It's underdog vs. ubermensch in this ultimate battle for truth's salvation.
Walpurgisnacht, Witch's Sabbath, April 30th, 1945: Soviet tanks stalk through the ruins of Berlin. You are an escaped American POW seeking refuge. In the eye of this storm, Ralph Gerhardt Mann, a deserter from the ranks of the SS, is holed up in an abandoned movie theatre, waiting for an audience to tell the movie of his life.
