The Ring des Nibelungen – a four-part epic about the present, history, and future viability of a large family and their legacy. Time changes us. One world passes, new truths emerge. Imprints, experiences of loss, and traumas passed down through generations seek to gain power over individual destinies. Where do these people come from? Where are they going? Eventually, nothingness, oblivion, the end reaches us; at the same time, we pursue the futile struggle to resist it – with the help of power, possessions, wealth, violence, beauty, or progeny.
