Der junge Mönch
Synopsis
Bavaria has become an arctic, hostile environment; at the site of the former state capital, a huge geyser is now gushing through the ice sheet. Miraculously, the home village where the young monk Herbert lives has been spared from the catastrophe. Now he propagates his religion, in which a chocolate Easter bunny is worshipped and whose central commandment is "God must not be bitten". In a surrealistic style, images from Iceland and Munich are mixed with images of the Easter bunny and the Pope.
