A palace in Vienna has been the headquarters of an old family firm for over 200 years. On the very day that the young, ambitious Philip takes over the business from his father Georg, his Aunt Erika, who disapproves of him, suddenly dies right in the middle of a meeting of the family council. A beginning like a happy ending. But then a strange thing occurs: Erika reappears, together with Philip's dead grandparents, to oust Philip from office with the aid of the dead - and the day becomes a long night. Philip fights many battles at the same time and begins a fateful love affair with his seductive Aunt Renate who died over 70 years previously. Philip's meddling in the family hierarchy and a murder mystery with a dead ancestor as the victim summon an increasing number of ever-older generations who gain more and more control over their ancestors of today...

tx-transform is a new technique which transposes the time (t) and space (x) axes in a film. Normally, each frame depicts an entire space, but only a brief moment in time (1/24 second). In tx-transformed films, this is reversed: Each frame shows a period of time in its entirety, but only a tiny portion of the space. This produces phenomena such as those described by Einstein in his theory of relativity. |
