      In a hauntingly surreal setting, the dead mysteriously wash ashore each night, prompting the living to incorporate these corpses into their daily lives. Families and individuals alike are compelled to transport the bodies, adapting their routines to accommodate the ever-growing presence of death. This bizarre custom, enforced by an enigmatic authority, raises questions about societal norms and the nature of existence, as the community grapples with the macabre reality of their existence and the unchanging cycle of life and death.

      Living with the Dead
    • »Ordnung, lieber Julian, liegt allem zugrunde ... Gott in seinem Himmel, der Mensch auf Erden, der Teufel ganz drunten.« Fest ist die Welt gefügt, die der Lehrmeister dem jungen Ritter nahebringt. Doch als Julian bald darauf bei der Jagd im wilden Wald von seinen Gefährten getrennt wird und sich verirrt, wird er jäh aus dieser Gewissheit gerissen. Er gerät in die Klauen einer Hexe, die ihn in die Dienste Satans zwingt. Doch der gefallene Engel, ein nachtschwarzer schöner Riese, entlässt den Sklaven scheinbar großmütig zurück in die Welt. Fortan gleicht Julians Leben einer Odyssee durch Länder und Zeiten, doch nirgends gibt es Sicherheit, nirgends eine Antwort auf seine Frage: Hat mein Weg ein Ziel? Gibt es Erlösung, oder wird Satan sich meiner ganz und gar bemächtigen?
