Die Serpentintänzerin

Austria/Hungary in 1905: At the annual fairs, the old cabinets displaying "abnormalities" and "living phenomena" are being replaced by cinematograph booths. Meanwhile, Viktor Conrad, the son of a photographer from Vac, falls in love with the image of a dancer he only knows from a film strip. With the booth he inherited from his father and his cinema equipment, Viktor joins the traveling troupe of the famous Doctor Giovanni in order to be close to his beautiful deaf-mute dancer.
