    • Synopsis
    • In a world dominated by progress and technology, overstrained teachers and students being taught by headphones only, schoolgirl Ljuba is trying to escape by dreaming of an angel that might change something. The glorious singing angel Klarina appears in the bathroom mirror of her bizarre cardboard school and inspires her music teacher Engelbert to compose a master piece of music to bring back joy and happiness to people's life. This mission causes absolute chaos in school and drives everybody insane. While almost losing his identity the angel invites him to pass the mirror for a quick look into paradise. Engelbert is now forced to withstand an incredible trip through Heaven and Hell and to finally face the truth about the „real“ world behind the mirror.
