VIRAGO

RheinMain Short Films

The grim reaper is making the rounds in Estonia! An old curse lies upon the tiny village of Virago, where for generations not a single man has survived beyond the age of 40. That has kept the womenfolk busy: not only are they forced to take over the men’s work, no, they have to constantly be on the lookout for the slightest sources of danger and eliminate them immediately too. Fatal accidents can pile up faster than you would think! A story told in a magnificently pointed manner, and saturated in fairy-tale hues to boot.
