Accompanied by Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries, original audio recordings from the right-wing extremist conspiracy scene are juxtaposed with the visual aesthetics of German fairy tales. In reference to Grimm's Hansel and Gretel, the film examines the unsettling transformation from innocent belief in gnomes and fairies to the emergence of the right-wing spiritual movement in Germany, which gained a strong following during the Corona pandemic.
