Plot synopsis

<...>In his new film Alexander Sokurov shows a day in the ghostly and inaccessible House built on the Mountain for the man of Power — the Power that has already done its horrible and catastrophically destructive work over the world and man. The characters of this parable bear historical names, which are notorious all over the world — Adolf Hitler, Eva Braun, Joseph and Magda Goebbels, Martin Borman and others. The Mountain, as all the other characters, also has a real prototype: Kelstein mountain in the Alps where in 1939 'the nest for the Furer' — Kelsteinhaus — was erected in the style of the Third Reich romanticism. <...>
