Undine

Undine, the mythical sea creature, is doomed to the destiny of ill-fated affairs. Spinning on the same spot, half fish, half woman, she moves with the algae. She looses her ground while at the same time being fastened to it. Inspired by Ingeborg Bachmann’s essay “Undine geht” the film illustrates the temptation of surrendering oneself to an impossible love.
