Synopsis
“Dead Flowers” is an utopian, bizarre thriller, set in the industrial landscapes of suburban Vienna. Alex, a young man working as a pest controller, meets one night Alice, daughter of a diplomat. He falls in love with her, but is soon forced to recognize that this woman who has rescued him from his dull existence is no normal acquaintance at all. When is pursued and eventually kidnapped, Alex sets off to look for her – a journey which takes him to the afterlife.
